Don't worry, Golubev will take it away from Almagro.

Comon, where are the pics. Surely you must have taken pics with her. It didn't even go to day 3! That is how bad the Swiss team is, why did they pics clay when Isner had take Nadal to 5 sets at RG? You lose big time!

Nishikori will win tomorrow to set up the decider.

I hope you at least left the tip.

Updates:

Spain leading Kazakhstan 4-0 - Granollers up a set in the 5th rubber.

Austria up 3-1 - Haider-Maurer split a set with Kunitsyn so far in the 5th rubber. I did not see Austria dominating like this, and Bogomolov is looking like a fool for leaving the States right now.

France up 2-1 with the deciders tonight. Still think France wins both of those. Raonic can't handle Tsonga, and Benneteau's shooting up the ranks, so I think he can handle Pospisil. Did think France would sweep, but guess not.

USA beats Switzerland 5-0. Very very happy I was wrong on this one. That was an epic beatdown, and I love seeing the United States do this well on clay. They did this without both Bryans, and a 19 year old kid. Wait till the Bryans come back in April together.

Czech Republic beats Italy 4-1. I was spot on with the score, but I expected Seppi to take the one rubber, not Bolelli.

Croatia beats Japan 3-2. Right on the button.

Serbia up against Sweden 3-1. Even if Sweden wins the final match, it really wasn't the battle I thought it would be.

Argentina beats Germany 4-1. Right on the button.

I'm a bit disappointed over the general state of tennis here in Sweden. Once upon a time we had to cut people from the top 10 when playing DC ties, the 10th best Swede was ranked around 35-40, we won infinity majors. Somehow, Sweden is still the 2nd most successful country of all time on the male side, and there's been a swede in a major final in each decade from the 70's, we had one who can be considered one of the greatest ever, one who was the best tactician the game has ever seen and one who had one of the best volleys and backhand of all time. Where did everything go wrong?

Spain completes sweep. 5-0.

Russia takes final rubber and loses 3-2.

jaggy · 02-12-2012, 09:36 AM

Britain beat Slovakia in a big upset.

jones101 · 02-12-2012, 09:39 AM

WELL DONE BRITAIN!!!

This is a massive win for them, given its context!

Maybe the curse of Joachim Johannsen

France takes the final two, although Raonic's issue didn't help any.

Most even matchup of the 1st Round, in my opinion. Far as the teams, I'm not fond of either to win it all, but I think Tipsarevic is the decider. He's a top 10 guy now, and playing well.

Honestly, did you believe that Tipsarevic and Troicki, #9 and #22 would be troubled by #348 and #1426

Or you're just biased ...

Double post.

Nooooo...I thought they were the two.

And it was simply Sweden's past that made me think they had a chance. Plus knowing how good Japan is starting to get, I thought Sweden would give a battle too.

Can't win them all.
