I have no idea how Switzerland's going to win, even on a carpet court. Wawrinka cannot beat Nadal, Ferrer, Verdasco/Lopez in a single weekend! If I were the coach, I would be kicking Federer right now.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

I agree. That is one of the reasons I like Andy, James, and the Bryans so much. They are willing to play for their country no matter what. Federer is only willing to do that when he can pencil it in. _________________
Federer seems only to play to keep them in the World Group, and he never plays away matches. I may be completely wrong here, but I think he only plays to keep them in, so that when he retires people will say 'Federer kept Switzerland in the world group for 10 years (or whatever)'. He should play every tie, like all of the other top players. This will be another thing keeping him from being the greatest of all time.
Federer only cares about his PERSONAL legacy... he does not care about his country.
He is now depriving us from a great Davis-cup tie. How many times does the draw bring No1 vs No2?
Federer's decision is just simply selfishness and self-greed. If he's an Agassi, or a Sampras, deferring because of age, I understand, but, come on, he's in the middle of his prime, with plenty of energy. Just shameful.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
why does Malisse never play Davis Cup? a TTC commentator said he was at odds with the Belgian Tennis Federation, why?
Apparently, Malisse is quite a streaky character, and can get into some bad relationships with others (if I remember correctly). And, plus, I don't think he's the type who would ever play as sort of a 'back up' for the Rochus brothers. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

wouldn't he be the No.1 singles player? _________________

I don't know... Rochus brothers always seem to be the stars.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

That's because they're the people who play for Belgium because Malisse doesn't play. And yes, Malisse would be the #1 singles player. _________________ www.freewebs.com/tenniswallpapers by myself and x.doublea

I agree. It doesn't look good for the swiss. Is this televised on TTC or otherwise??
Germany- Croatia looks like a good intresting match up. Ivan Ljubicic, Mario Ancic, Ivo Karlovic are a huge advantage for Croatia. _________________

TTC is showing USA-Czech Republic (not sure if it will be live, VS might have the rights to show it live). They are also showing Germany-Croatia _________________
Malisse has always had a very bad attitude on court. I remember he swore at some ballboys in Miami a couple of years ago, which is just the most classless and horrible thing to do. I think he received a fine or something after. No wonder people prefer the Rochus brothers. Belgium also have Kristof Vliegen, who is another up-and-coming player. They had the first all-Belgian final last year in Munich (O.Rochus v Vliegen), and both Rochus brothers have good doubles partnerships with each other and Vliegen. So they have a very good team already.
If Malisse sorts his attitude out (which he looks like he has), then they can become alot stronger. He actually won the French Open with Olivier Rochus a few years ago, so that would be a great partnership there aswell.
