[My Chumps]

I'm loving the French commentary in the all French match.

Me too. Go Tsonga! 2-1 up and has a double break in the fourth over Gasquet  8)

[tbagrocks]

Why do the French guys seem to always be playing each other giving the French nutter a job ???

Entertaining yes but a conspiracy?

What gripes me (yes another tbag rant) is the commentaitors speaking to softly but the other noises, shrieks, crowd ect is to loud for me and the commentaitors aren't authoritative enough and speak far to gently. It's time like this I want to be in America where they are boisterous in there calling, speak up ya chumps!

That is stupid Tbag.

There are so many good French players, they have to play eventually ::)

what the flower 7? So throughout the whole Tsonga vs. Gasquet game they were pumping up the after-match interview with Henri Leconte and telling us to tune in, will be a cant miss moment... and then just when the match finishes, 7 flick it over to the Joker vs. Stan replay from last night. Dafuq???

I think he has been out for about a year and a half due to sickness.

From the Guiness book of Records 2013:
Ivo Karlovic (Croatia), who stands 2.08m tall, served a ball at 251kmph in a doubles match against Germany in the Davis Cup on 5 March 2011.

The fastest serve by a woman is 209kmph by Brenda Schultz-McCarthy on the 15 July 2006. Matched by Venus Williams in 2008.

For some reason, neither of those seem correct to me.

Edit: Wiki says otherwise. Sam Groth hit 263kmph and Sabine Lisicki hit 210kmph.

A few peoples early tip Radwanska is booted out by Narley (sorry) Leynar, what is it Li Na or Na Li?

Anyway Narley Li Na is looking good, not as good as Radwanska's legs but still playing well

Still got my money on the defendiong champ ;D

Though I am a softy for Maria :-* and she's flying too
