Breaking news!
Reports say that both #3 Stanislas Wawrinka and #8 Roger Federer
are making their way to Novi Sad in Serbia for the 1st round
tie!
It is rumored that Novak Djokovic and Janko Tipsarevic will not
play, but that is not confirmed.

There is also an unconfirmed rumor that Federer promised
Wawrinka he would play in the 1st round if Stan won the
Australian Open.. :)
Is that humble pie you're eating Roger? Hahaha

I am going to Petco Park tomorrow for Day 1 of the Davis Cup
matches between USA and Great Britain. The clay court they built
specifically for this event inside the baseball stadium looks
fantastic!
Today, it was announced that John Isner is not going to play due
to an injured foot. So, the first match tomorrow is between Andy
Murray and Donald Young.
The funny thing is that I was the match in 2011 in Indian Wells
when Young defeated Murray. I even took some photos :)

young is going to have a hard time defeating andy this time.
andy is slowly stepping up his fitness. I think andy takes this
straights or 4 sets at best.

tomorrow.

young has a great foreahand.
I am sure andy will try to target young's weaker wing and then
open up the court.
still its clay and young is a midget. he does not have enough
firepower to hurt andy.

Perhaps General. The German team is carrying some injuries from
what I recall (Haas - shoulder forced to retire at AO 1st round,
Kohlschreiber - left hamstring - retired prior to 1st round at
the AO). I don't know if they are healthy enough to put out
100%. Florian Mayer is I think in good shape and form as he made
it to the 4th round at the AO - defeated by Ferrer.
If they are ok, I think it will be tough for Spain on the German
indoor hard courts. But both Lopez and Verdasco are pretty good
on hard courts, so we can't dismiss them. Tommy Haas is
scheduled to play doubles with Brands vs. Verdasco/Marrero.
That might end up being the key match.
Bautista-Agut plays Kohlschreiber in the 1st tie for the first
time in their lives. Bautista-Agut made it to the 4th round,
taking down Del Potro along the way. So he is in good form. I
think Kohlschreiber can beat him if healthy though, if he uses
his good one handed backhand to avoid Bautista-Agut's strong
forehand.
Florian Mayer plays Feli Lopez. Should be an interesting
battle. Maybe it goes 5 sets. Pick 'em.
Respectfully,
masterclass
