2017 ATP Sudden Death League: Davis Cup

Well it's 2 votes to 0 so I won't hang around - the rule will be overturned and for @Tennis sensation and anyone else, there's still a few hours left to make a pick then (not that there's much choice now).

As it happens, you have a point I guess. But really, this concern should have been voiced before. Look at Rule No. 2 in previous years' threads:

I think it probably doesn't help that Davis Cup SDL has a chequered history - I recall it being, in the past, just for fun and no points on offer. I recall being unaware the status had changed and therefore missing it a couple of years ago.

Thanks, I didn't mean to be as salty as the Dead Sea about it, lol. I was just voicing my displeasure with the rule because of the time zones. Like I know Australia had already completed their first Rubber at least 16 hours before The US even played their first rubber in Birmingham, so to me it seemed a little crazy.

"Well, it's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round robin, am I wrong?"

"I'm perfectly calm, dude!"

Definitely. Can't believe she was only nominated once.
Twice (but in each Actress category) but that's woeful given her body of work.

However, she has been honoured by her (our) own.


I love that she doesn't really seem to give a fig about her beauty.

PS Miranda Richardson looks seriously hacked off!

QF: In this season of revenge, Napoleon over Wellington!

Vive La FRANCE!

If Dan Evans wins a rubber, on my next trip to London I will streak through Waterloo Station!:eek:

??? I did not know about this, mon ami!

You don't remember that thread from a few weeks ago? Kyle Edmund lost his match @ IW to Djokovic, and then someone posted a thread citing an article that Edmund received a bunch of nasty threats on social media. Most likely they were from gamblers who lost a bunch of a money, but even so, some of the things they said were just terrible. I can't remember verbatim what one person said, but it was something to the effect that he/she hoped that Edmund would be ***** and sodomized and then like chopped up and fed to pigs or something outrageously awful and insanely specific.

Edit - Just found the thread

Can't believe you missed that one.

Good stuff from France and Serbia. Most people through already, just need to see if Belgium can get the job done tomorrow.

It will be in Belgium and they will choose slow red clay. Does Oz have anyone on dirt to back up Sick Nick???

The Belgians have Goffin, The Aussie's have Nick..the rest is a total crapshoot. Possible edge to the Aussie's in doubles but even then.....total toss up
