The good news for the United States, is that the Bryans veterans, whose Bilanz 18-2 are salted: a team is one of the best in the history of the Davis Cup. In fact, John McEnroe, even – perhaps the greatest player of all time double - raised an identical 18-2 record, although with four different partners (Peter Fleming was his main man; they were 14-1). Mike Bryan, a btw, still better than McEnroe record. Half right the Bryan brothers is 20-2, partnership Mardy fish in a win over Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka at the Freiburg red clay in February and a victory for five sets to Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco in the semi-finals in Madrid on Earth in 2008.
But there is no call for the American players or fans feel embodies. Llodra and Benneteau are 3-1 in the Davis Cup game. Llodra is one of the best players in the double on the turn, and Llodra and Arnaud Clgenommen for one of these beiDEN losses by the Bryans in Davis Cup doubles loaded. A carpet was decided by a tiebreaker Partialch, with the winner of French in four sets, only the first surprise. And it is fairly new - Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem beloved World Group quarter instead of the Lawrence Joel in the United States.
HMMMM. .
But it should a last turn, which is to reduce this smile, faces Americans: the Bryans are 9-0 in clay. Llodra, huge double 18 overall, is one only 6-4 on clay. The Bryans were also very good, if the team it this needs really is almost all the time. These days, it leads 2-0 in Saturday of indeed rare for us.
As always for a favorite team playing at home, what is pressure are entitled to set a greater impact is expected on the French. It was an indication of anything, what kind of mental agony in French No 1 Jo - WilfriedTsonga today while his victory over the No. 2 of America, Ryan Harrison, in a relatively Facilequatre sets. Tsonga begins today quite slowly in each set and Harrison - play in the first live rubber in his career, could use not the implicit opportunity. In total, Harrison had on a sad day score of the service offers 10 double error. He won just 42 percent of his second dessert, a day where he served by 63 percent.
This is not the worst learning experience for a rookie play, affect the results of the first, but snowshoe double Harrison broken in anger after striking two consecutive Tsonga hand more or less of the second series on a plateau (see the reaction of bat Steve Tignor) provided a fairly good indicator of his frustration. Esgesagt, but it is always useful to wiederholen-, but nothing, nothing prepared before really a player for his first Davis Cup match.And there is no way to predict how a certain Player responds to the unique print of this situation.
The Littératiech are really again scream against a wall with their fans for a reversal, the Bryan brothers must of. Long, John Isner, who today number 1 that it would be corresponding to US, insured, with a second single button - never feat, especially since the French No. 2, Gilles Simon, only two places under Isner place and should significantly facilitates, when Tsonga Harrison in the first game ended to win.
Isner showed again that the punch punch, in turn in another wonderful game, in which was more powerful than the counter the role of Atomic service if not minimal, then extremely subtile (see Richard Pagliaro snowshoe reaction).
Isner belted 53 winners, compared to a paltry 15 for Simon and he had only 51 percent of his dessert on the game he dominated all over Simon, pRice winning 6-3, 6-2, 7-5. It is another proof that the brand of tennis, in which you want a little faster to endpoints and Readilpeut yet, just a typical sound, successful players are charged. The interesting thing, come Sunday, are two players from No. 1, Tsonga and Isner, include the aggressive players, to work the land.
Tsonga plays more the feeling, the mood of the day, while Isner relies on some tried and true combinations, most of them including a forehand inside-out hit inside the base line for the opening of the Court. Knowledge that Tsonga is particularly interested in not the kind of guy who was ZermürbenIsner at an opponent, please should be, although creativity and versatility of Tsonga can be downright scary.
What as things go, Harrison must either through movements in other rubber-death (if the Bryan and Isner won) - go or playing asscary fifth rubber to decide which promotes to the semi-finals which sudden death. To know what I'm doing on Harrison, I think that it is an opportunity not only to be free the bit, but Desubir could be easily crushed recruit, which chomping hero of Davis Cup a Metamorphisis of green.
And, as is often the case, Simon can also have a unique opportunity for salvation.
This is the beauty of form of Davis Cup - his ability to leave a number of surprisingly diverse possible lines of history, challenges, and ultimately - surprised.
