Which is useless when we are talking winning matches..

You really just don't understand sport do you...

Tennis is an individual sport it's not cricket- you shouldn't be picking a player on his "good bloke" status

Was at the Davis Cup all weekend, phenomenal games. I've literally lost my voice from all the chanting and drinking.

No. The ability to play under pressure's important. Tomic.......

We got Germany in the first round in 2018. Think it will be hosted in Aus.

As long as Zverev doesn't turn up- we stand a good chance. Not super easy either way as they have alright depth. Their "2nd" is in the top 40 IIRC.

Is Tomic's Davis Cup record based mostly on World Group ties or the regional ties from our wilderness days?

Half and half actually. From 2008-2013, Australia was outside the World Group and Tomic's singles record in that period since his 2010 debut was 8-2. Since Australia's return to the World Group in 2014, Tomic's record has been 9-2.

It should be mentioned that a proportion of Hewitt's 58-21 DC record is also from "the wilderness" as well. His record was 10-5 in singles and 10-0 in doubles.

Any idea yet on which Australian city will host the February tie?

What's Zverev's worst surface

Indoor hard for sure.

Indoor hard for sure.

Closed roof at RLA or Perth Arena perhaps? Both would have Plexicusion courts ready to go.

Or would we look at somewhere more intimate.

Think the other Zverev overtook Kohli as their #2 at the US Open. Not sure if Kohli even plays Davis Cup these days, I saw Struff playing against Portugal in the most recent tie.

Should play it indoors at RLA then.

We still have one more tournament to go...davis Cup this weekend

 

[eth-dog]

If Goffin loses day 1 it'll be 4-1 at best.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

It should have been us

Think France will romp it in.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Didnt watch it but caught up this morning.

Goffin is seriously playing some good tennis. I think we(as in this forum) underestimated how good he is currently. Sadly, it was just him v France. France just had too much depth. Looking at the pictures, I just love the emotion on show. God i wish they fix the Davis Cup so every tie it like that. Credit to both teams for pouring so much into it.
