I wonder if Federer and Djokovic will play.

Fed and Wawrinka in Serbia. That would be nice to see
But I think Fed will skip this one

Well if Fed plays it will be a great tie. What surface do you think Serbia will choose, Clay?

Nole could also skip, if they win this year i think he should not play in 2014 and get back to winning Grand Slams.

Yes I agree. Novak might skip this one as well. But it could be a great tie if all of them play. Not sure if clay is a good choice. Swiss players like clay.

Also USA-GB could be interesting if Murray plays.

They could probably hold it in a football stadium. Djokovic v Federer in Belgrade, I think they could sell that.

I think Murray has committed providing he is healthy. You would expect Murray to get two points which would make things interesting. Murray and Fleming could beat the Bryans.

The winner of Serbia/Switzerland would have a relatively easy tie.

I think the Germans will choose grass for Rafa.

For the USA V GB tie I think we should play it on a slow clay court John can serve lights out on any surface and I actually give him a shot against Murray on Clay as he has has had better wins on the surface and won more titles on Clay than the world number 3.

Even if Murray wins both matches I still do not see us losing although Evans will put in a plucky performance and their doubles pair will be tricky but you have to back the Bryans for the W.

yes, indoors clay probably & interesting to see which city in France wins bid,
might fly over to watch the boys have a crack.

USA vs GB is really tough flight from Oz Open back across some tough time zones...think if Isner is fit & plays forget about the clay, go indoors & fast!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

France will definitely choose clay, Gasquet beating Tomic quite easily i guess... Monfils would be a great other player but Tsonga will probably be the coach choice, more experience.

Normally I would agree with you, but a fast surface may actually help Murray too and even though Evans is just a journeyman in a one off match on a fast court an upset could happen as he does come forward but he looks clueless on clay and Murray does not even have the same pedigree of wins on clay as big John so it is not that easy a call.
