The Tennis Thread 2013

Yeah baby! That was super intense.

Those cardboard cutouts of Nestor/Pospisil are hilarious lol

[Mango]

Love all of the supporters there! They are so loud and proud. Go Canada Go!!!!

[GirlySports]

woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Inglewood Jack]

What a great father son team...tomorrow is gonna be wild

[dash_pinched]

[polak]

Incredible!

Hopefully one of our guys can pull an upset tomorrow!

[Resolute 14]

Pivotal win. Raonic will need the match of his life tomorrow if he's going to beat Djokovic, but if it comes down to the fifth rubber, how concerned would Canada be that Pospisil is coming off a marathon match after playing the day before? I can't imagine they'd go with Dancevic

[GirlySports]

Its about the same. Doubles isn't nearly as tiring as singles and Janko went 4 hours on Friday. No way it's Dancevic now.

With the lead. Milos can come out firing

I doubt it, but I have a soft spot for Dancevic, he has a history of big Davis Cup Matches, the first live tennis match I'd ever seen was Frank Dancevic vs Gustavo Kuerten at the Corral, he also had a few big wins this year in Montreal(and a close game vs Berdych) and the Davis Cup victory over Granollers earlier this year.

He is a Wild Card in ever sense of the word. Though I'd be comfortable with Dancevic vs Tipsarevic, I feel that Pospisil has earned the right to play that deciding match.

[GirlySports]

looks like they're having a blast over there!

[GirlySports]

Also I've just heard on the Davis Cup podcast that Canada have won the coin toss.

THEY WILL HOST THE FINAL, if they win tomorrow.

That would be insane.

[polak]

I'm surprised there hasn't been any problems (that we know about at least). Drunken, foreign sports fans in Eastern Europe tends to be a powder keg.

I think it would be foolish to pick fights with Canadians

If they manage to pull it off tomorrow do you think they would go back to Vancouver for the finals?

Have never seen a high caliber match live, Im close enough to make the drive down if it were in Van.

Oh definitely. Tennis Canada will go where they've had their success. If it happens, I'll be on the first plane there.

I'm a little bit irritated with the Serbs over ticketing for the semi-final. I was planning on going to Belgrade for the Friday night matches but was only allowed to purchase tickets for the whole 3 days through Tennis Canada). Alas, I did not go. It would have been fantastic.

Indoor carpet at the Corral for the final if they make it!

[transplant99]

Milos gets broken...breaks right back. Thats good stuff.

[BlAcKNoVa]

Wow nice game by Raonic, breaks Djokovic's serve right after he was broken himself.

[BlAcKNoVa]

This is going downhill, fast

[transplant99]

Yeah....Milos just no match for Djokovic....no shame in that mind you.
