WELL DONE BRITAIN!!!

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

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?

Maybe the curse of Joachim Johannsen

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

USA will beat Swiss 3-2

And I'll be dating Ana Ivanovic tomorrow.

So, how's Ana in private?

Serbia vs Sweden - Serbia wins 3-2
_____________________________
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.

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

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

Or you're just biased ...

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.
