[blahblahblah]

tipsarevic up to a quick 4-1 lead here

 

[blahblahblah]

somdev takes the 3rd set also 7-5

go for it somdev!!!!

 

[vcs]

Yeah c'mon Somdev!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Isner playing Capdeville.

No break of serve. On clay. They're 1-1 in the fifth...

 

[blahblahblah]

somdev won it 7-6 in the third

so 1-1 for india in davis cup

 

[Cruxdude]

Would be a massive upset if we win, that too without Paes and Bhupathi.

Get the **** in. This should give us real belief for the doubles tie. If we win that one, there's a real chance one of the Serbs chokes in the reverse singles. If we lose the doubles, it's over. Still, it's an amazing effort.

Haha straight sets win for Somdev over Tipsarevic is so awesome. Imagine if Bopanna had managed to play at his level for one more set and beat Troicki!

That looks like it would have been a hilarious match.

Huge loss from Isner 2 sets up, and having two tiebreaks lost in the 3rd and 4th as well.

Pim Pim with a straight sets win for the Swedes, too. Nick Lindahl's defection hasn't played out like he hoped it would.

Dokic into her first WTA final since 2003 and faces the winner of Safarova/Groth.

Jelena! WAG.

 

[Jono]

Huge come back in that match. Looked gone on various occasions.

 

[morgieb]

ffs Tomic, why are you losing to an Indian doubles specialist?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

He won eventually. Had he lost they should have stripped him of his Miami wildcard based on that and his antics in Dallas.

What happened in Dallas, btw?

Gut feel is that he'll play awesome against Trocki and win.

Dallas went out of their way to give him a wildcard when they usually only give them to Americans, and he retired at like 1-5 down against Bogomolov in the first round. Apparently he wasn't injured and essentially "gave up". Dallas thought that because he asked for a wildcard he could hit with some of the juniors as well, but he turned them down.

I suppose he has gone a good year or so since giving me a reason to hate the fact I want him to do well. ****ing hell.

Blake's hit back, though. Now 3-0 in the 2nd set after the G00ch won the first 6-3.
