I'll check if there is any match statistics, if it's trustworthy at all... But no matter how bad he's been this season, losing to a non ranked boy, who have only three losses in singles and only one win in doubles at ITF Pro Circuit level, last junior event played in July 2015 is really embarrassing. I read you chose fast surface and I think even Kubot could have been better choice for singles rubbers.

I thought GER-CZE tie could be the most entertaining and I am glad I was right. Two five setters! Pity Zverev lost. If he only won that first set.... He had more points than Berdych, but we all know it is not deciding factor. I hope he can learn from this match. Tomorrow is the crucial match. If Germans win, I believe Zverev can deliver the third point. Well, I definitely didn't foresee Italy to struggle this much against weakened Switzerland!

I am glad to see Durasovic succeeded to win. Norway have two great potentials, Viktor Durasovic and Casper Ruud. I hope both of them make top 100. I haven't heard of this boy, Christian Sigsgaard, he's either good or Basilashvili was in complete error mode. Huge surprise there, given the fact Georgia is a host. But also, I am wondering was it smart to choose carpet... It will suit Nielsen the best lol What a return for Nieminen, 6-0 6-0 6-0 Kinda expected result in SRB-KAZ tie, Kazakhstani players are really something different in Davis Cup (the Netherlands of Davis cup, lol) Now, cheering for Zverev with all heart Sabine.... no words -.-

Ram, Fritz, McDonald, Del Potro and Tiafoe on men's side and Watson, Riske, Hantuchova, Davis, Crawford, Shuai Zhang, Rogers, Loeb on women's with MDWCs along with Sharapova's withdrawal... Tiafoe will become first player born in 1998 to play at some ATP Masters 1000 event.

USA are on the way to their old glory days! I hope most of their young players will pass the transition to senior tennis, like Fritz is doing lately. Great depth of players, most of them born in 1996-1998 span. Fritz, Paul, Tiafoe, Kozlov, Opelka, Mmoh, Donaldson... I was delighted with Fritz's performance in Memphis and Acapulco. That guy is great, and I expect him in top 50 very soon.

Bah, cakewalk for Italy. On the other hand, the most interesting tie is between Germany and Czech Republic. Berdych is a big plus for the Czechs, but I hope Davis Cup will provide some surprise. As expected, even Hong (who won three Futures in Turkey over the last few weeks) was too strong for Statham. South Korea should become great power in men's tennis in upcoming years with, at least, 3-4 highly talented youngsters. Back on WTA, Kontaveit with two great back to back wins over Cibulkova and Errani

WTA Race to Rio standings after Acapulco/Doha...

Misfortune On a bright side, we should be able to organize the rest of scheduled contests.

Read the opening post of this thread carefully. Once we get used to new software, open the most needed Olympic sports threads and establish some order, everyone will be able to open new threads. Be patient At this point, you better ask Sindo to allow you to open the thread you want

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.

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

Test Thread

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...

More interesting things happened on South American clay were Dominic Thiem's rise and Nadal's decline even on clay!

Looking forward for Australia-USA tie. Hopefully Kyrgios will recover on time. He's been amazing over last few weeks, would be such a bummer if he misses the tie. One cannot rely on Bernie only

Oh, we can now open the threads? Great.

Smart move. I off now, will work on prediction contests format once I get my mod function

Hmm.... can regular users open threads? PS I like the multiquote function!

It seems to appear and disappear every minute Can't see it again, it was next to the "Quote" button

There was edit button few minutes ago, now disappeared... Well, time to test how we can organize prediction contests EDIT I see it now
