Kiwis almost missed the tie due heavy snow in Korea lol

Best NZ team with Tearney, Venus, Statham and Sitak will have very difficult task against young Korean team Chung (born in 1996), Hong (1997) and Duck-hee Lee (1998) with Chung and Lee playing in singles I think NZ chances are low. They have advantage in doubles only, with Sitak and Venus both ranked in top 100 and being experienced doubles players.

Head coach will count on Venus during all three days...

it was a very interesting february for SVK tennis all started by a expected flop with Australia in the fed cup. but a week later came the bomb and mr unpredictable winning a ATP 500 tournament  and 3 days later he lost in 1st round in Dubaiand everything concluded by a very interesting performance of Dominika Cibulková, pitty Domi wasn´t so far to win the acapulco WTA at all..

Something is terribly wrong with my quote. Anyway. It is not uncommon for players to lose first or second round of a tournament that comes after win week before. It happens all the time.

Now that we're reviewing February... I'm very happy Del Potro finally came back and playing pretty well also.

I'm quite sure every real tennis fan is happy to have him back!

Kyrgios is definitely out of Davis Cup, and Hewitt, like Nieminen, will step up and play at least one rubber if needed.

Well, it seems Hong is going to play singles matches together with Chung. Hong vs Statham and Chung vs Venus on day with reverse rubbers on Sunday. As expected, Venus and Chung selected for all three days.
