Hello everyone!
Berlocq's performance was impressive! Winning that match will
get us near the QF again.
And, even without so many chances this Davis Cup, getting to QF
means another year in the World Group, so... Vamos Pico!! ;D
Switzerland with Federer and Wawrinka could be very dangerous
this Davis Cup and a rival to fear, specially considering Serbia
is losing and that'd mean no Djokovic this year.
This could be an interesting Davis Cup

Yep, I spent the whole day today at the Davis Cup matches. Andy
against Young was a snoozefest, Andy outplayed him thoroughly.
The second match was a thriller but it was so sad watching Sam
Querrey's game collapse like that at the end, broken 5 times in
a row at 4:3 in the fourth after not being broken even once
until then!
My seat was way up in the stands so the pictures I took are not
very good. There is only this one of the venue, a beautiful
claycourt built at the baseball stadium in my city.

I'll add congratulations to the German team and condolences to
the Spanish team.
Kohlschreiber looked healthy and ready and beat Bautista-Agut
easily in 3 sets, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, and he certainly made use of
the backhand as I suggested earlier. Here was the hot shot of
the day.

The 2nd match between Mayer and Lopez turned out to be a big
battle as I thought it might.
Mayer led 2 sets to love, but Lopez fought back to tie it. Then
in the final set, Mayer broke early and never relinquished it,
winning, 7-6(6), 7-6(4), 1-6, 5-7, 6-3. Mayer was cramping, but
fought through and pulled it out.
Here's the final game (starting at around 2:20) :

Now Fernando Verdasco and David Marrero are scheduled in doubles
to try and prevent victory for the Germans, represented in the
doubles by Tommy Haas and Daniel Brands.
Tough ask for Spain without world #1 Nadal and #5 Ferrer, or
numbers 16 and 17, Robredo and Almagro. Not sure why they are
not playing.
Respectfully,
masterclass

Great recap.
Kohly's backhand is sweet. I've always liked him.
Shame for Spain. Sounds like a great match, but Feli always
waits too late to fight. I can't see them getting past Haas and
Brands. By the way, did you see where Haas just got a new coach
in order to get himself in the Top 10. That would be awesome.
I'm not familiar with Marrero, Fernando might not be enough to
hold off the German onslaught.

Yes. Agreed. Update: Germans going for the kill in the
doubles rubber. Kohlschreiber replaced Brands.
Haas/Kohli now lead 1 set to love

Spain has leveled the match at one all with a tiebreaker set win
of their own. It's do or die for Spain.
