Tight dubs rubber in the Argentina/Italy could make almost all of us cry for JMDP/Pella. They blew a 2-0 sets lead and are now 3-3 in the fifth.:(

Nice comeback FTW. Fog must be dead tired after singles/dubs and facing singles tomorrow. I hope Delbonis can finish him and deliver the tie win. If not, Monaco or JMDP for singles vs Seppi???

Some journalists say Monaco, others say Del Potro. And the captain of our team didn't say anything today..

I think Monaco will play vs Seppi if Fognini wins tomorrow.

Bryan Brothers are old. Sock is too up and down, and Isner is 100% reliant on his serve, which when he doesn't serve well, there is no plan B to grind out a match win.

What of Big Sam the Giant Slayer and Steve Johnson? The USA has so much potential in depth but just doesn't seem to be able to bring it at DC anymore. How much of this can we lay at Jim Courier's door? Is it now time for a new captain?

Yeah, they probably just went with the 2 highest ranked singles players and then obviously the Bryan Bros in dubs. I mean there's really no excuse for losing this rubber... You had 2 chances to win 1 best of 5 match against Coric and Cilic. Really not sure how Jack Sock managed to lose to Borna Coric at home, after rallying to win against Cilic down 0-2... That's a pretty pathetic result if you ask me. Isner and Cilic, okay that could go either way, two guys with big serves. I mean Cilic really handed the rubber over on a silver platter by blowing that 2-0 lead. You can't be up 2-0 in the rubber and then lose from that position at home.

Who would they turn to, lol? I mean Patrick McEnroe didn't do any better, and anyone else noteworthy either won't be interested in coaching or is involved with other players.

Chang - Nishikori
Johnny McEnroe - Raonic
Sampras/Agassi - No interest whatsoever

I wonder if Roddick might be interested? He has a great DC track record!

The captain does not play the match for them. In truth, the Croats had better players.
