I wonder if Korolev will have to play doubles with himself since the other two are injured. Actually - anyone know what's wrong with Tursunov?

**gyjsdtuwr** · 05-14-2009, 05:17 AM

I wonder if Korolev will have to play doubles with himself since the other two are injured.

Napkin for Bea please.

Thank you.

Both Bryans are out. Mardy Fish has taken their place on the US team.

**FelixQY** · 05-16-2009, 02:12 PM

I know this is a glorified exhibition but Gilles Simon losing to Robin Soderling really bugs me.

**FelixQY** · 05-17-2009, 08:42 PM

I know this is a glorified exhibition but Gilles Simon losing to Robin Soderling really bugs me.

Understand why. Gilles has not been able to get consistent results and after Wimbledon, he has a lot of points to defend.

**aLZ9zKsO** · 05-17-2009, 08:49 PM

**aLZ9zKsO** · 05-17-2009, 08:51 PM

Understand why. Gilles has not been able to get consistent results and after Wimbledon, he has a lot of points to defend.

I think Gilles had his best season last year, he is not gong to top it or match it

Oh, they're getting points for this?

I guess it's a good result for someone ranked above 1000 playing his first tour-level singles match to get Bolelli to a tiebreak. The kid just turned 18. And a good win for Korolev

Two questions:

1. Who on Earth is S Vovk?

2. Should it be France is tied with Sweden 1-1, then?

**EarnestKS** · 05-18-2009, 02:13 PM

Nevermind, you just answered #1

**PyncGyncliacy** · 05-18-2009, 02:25 PM

2. Should it be France is tied with Sweden 1-1, then?

Yes. Fixed

**PyncGyncliacy** · 05-18-2009, 02:48 PM

Nevermind, you just answered #1

Sergey and Evgeny lost the doubles, but 10-4 in the Super TB. I know he was invited to be the hitting partner for Davis Cup last time, but I know little else about him.

Kohlschreiber and Ginepri played two tiebreaks and then PEHK bageled Ginepri in the third
