Argentina v. Czech Republic ~~ Davis Cup

[random guy]

Pretty hopeless unless a miracle happens. Delpo can take down Thomas (not that it would be easy) but Pico defeating the Worm on carpet is very very unlikely

 

[blackfrido]

a miracle is going to happen, no doubt about it!

 

[Love Game]

Delpo breaks to love to begin.
now serving 1 love

=======

consolidates the break 2 love

juan martin moving waaaay better on the indoor hard than he did on the grass of wimby, imho

berdych serving 2-4.
has gotten delpo a couple times w/the dropper 3-4

 

[zagor]

LG,any stream? I agree Delpo is a much better mover on HC and clay than on grass.

 

[zagor]

Del Potro takes the first set.

That's Verdasco-Kohlschreiber match is going at snail's pace.

What's up with this match? Roll-over for Delpo?

 

[zagor]

Thanks LG,Delpo just broke Berdych again.

youre welcome!
this one's definitely going fast ..... and for a time there, the air horns didnt want to stop for delpo's service ..... ahhhhhh davis cup!

delpo leading 3-1
vamos delpo!

 

[zagor]

Delpo in complete control,breaks again after an UFE from Berdman's FH.

Berdych can't handle Delpo's rhytm from the baseline.

 

[zagor]

Tough hold for Berdych,he avoided the breadstick.

 

[Love Game]

Berd saves set point 2-5

 

[zagor]

Great BH return winner from Berdych,BP.

Great BH return winner from Berdych,BP.

interesting. berd was quick on the trigger, broke delpo, now serving 3-5

 

[zagor]

Things have turned around a bit,first Berdych avoided a breadstick at 5-1,then broke Delpo with some blistering return winners and held serve after that,now Delpo will serve for the set again.

 

[Love Game]

have you seen that baby-faced ivo minar? the one who's gonna play monaco? is he any good?

p.s. tomas holds 4-5

 

[Love Game]

second set took a little longer than the first.

 

[zagor]

Bad miss from Berdych but Delpo should have taken this set long before anyway.

Minar is playing Monaco? Why not Stepanek?

 

[Love Game]

delpo holds to love 2 all

i believe radek was nursing an injury and was only able to play dubs, which he and berd did quite forcefully yesterday. the DC website still says minar. ========

juan martin still serving fine, holds to 15, 4 all

 

[Love Game]

Delpo now up a break, serving for the match!!!

Well,Argies definitely have a good chance then.I didn't see Minar play many times,I remember him giving Fed a tough time in Dubai a few years ago and his match with Roddick at Miami last year.Has a very good serve from what I remember and solid hands at the net,his game is probably effective on this surface but Stepanek would be a way harder opponent.

 

[Love Game]

game, set, match for delPotro/Argentina

to the winner goes the interview ...........

uh. oh. look at the graphic!!!!

 

[Love Game]

MINAR ... my, how you've changed!!! :shock:

uh oh ... now he's taking the brace off!!!

​

 

[zagor]

LOL

If only Nalbo was here,he'd realy kick *** on this surface.

i miss him sooooooo much!

both radek and pico have a lot of national pride.

on serve, monaco serving 2-3

 

[Love Game]

pico was robbed on that 3rd or 4th point of the TB where his ball was called out!

they have a great system of photographing the baseline and they slow the ball down enough to see exactly where it hits, and that one was in.

but maybe it evened out with the bad calls ... bottom line Czech Republic/Stepanek takes first set.

 

[diegaa]

we are in deep trouble. only pico's heart can win this.

 

[Andres]

Ta complicau, che.

 

[zagor]

Congrats to Czech Republic,I think Stepanek's injury was kinda overblown perhaps but that's sport.

 

[random guy]

Yeah, it hurts but Czech Rep were the better team. It the same old history in the Argie team: a great nr1 player (like Nalbandian for the past six years) but a significant drop in quality in the 2nd. On the bright side, Delpo really has confirmed that he's top DC material. Hope that Nalby will come fine of his surgery and solved his differences both with Delpo and the AAT (argentine association of tennis).

Special mention to the Worm. Amazing player, really like the way he plays.

 

[diegaa]

yeah, congrats
