Decent match. Thought Murray would crumble, but he didn't. Prefer the Murray that played a bit more aggresively to win 5th set than the Murray who won the 2nd set waiting for Joker to miss.

One thing I didn't get, what's with the lack of emotion for Murray? He's all emotional when he loses, and then super-calm when he wins? Weird. Ultimately, I think he's more interesting as the loveable loser. Suddenly I find him really boring.

Ivan Lendl is having an impact on Murray in the most positive way possible. Since Lendl was hired to be his coach Murray has won an Olympic Gold Medal & the United States Open. Many thought Lendl was boring as hell. He didn't give a rats ass. I doubt Murray will either.

nice. Prospisil (sp?) was down 40-0 in the 6th game, and ended up winning 5 straight points to break.
won the next game 40 love as well to get the first set to 5-2.

RSA dude is rattled.

Pospisil's biggest issue in that first set was a nasty wasp on his service game, but he turned his racquet into a fly swatter and got that bugger.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

wasp never had a chance

This Davis Cup tie was supposed to take place in South Africa, but they deferred to Canada for financial reasons...

 

[puckhead]

2 sets 0.
pretty pretty pretty good

Vasek now up 2 sets to love in his match - Nice ground strokes and angles from Vasek.

 

[dash]

If you could only combine Milos' serve with Vasek's return game, you'd have one heck of a Canadian player.

 

[dash]

woot!! Vasek takes the match in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-4)

 

[dash]

Another woot! Milos wins his singles match in straight sets against a young guy (Nik Scholtz) who played very well. Set scores were 7-5, 6-4, 7-5

 

[puckhead]

good start

Lost the doubles match yesterday, but Milos won his match today to close out South Africa and return to the World Group.

woot!

Doesn't he play for the Oilers?

Oh well. Maybe there is a tennis lottery.

Yikes, Canada draws Spain (at least they're hosting and get to pick the surface). But man, that's a tough draw.
