Wouldn't Ginepri be better for clay? Or Odesnik ?

I have read that Almagro is going to be an alternate and that Emilio SV will decide on the final players before the draw. I am almost sure that Almagro will play instead of Ferrer, because of Nico's great clay season and David poor results of the last months.

Querrey Set to Make Davis Cup Debut

I can't say I'm that surprised. Blake has had a rough last month or so.

Sam,
Welcome to Davis Cup, baptism by fire, in Madrid no less! I'll see you next week.

PMac obviously says the right thing...but was this James' decision or PMac's?

It may not have even been PMac's?

IMHO, I think it was Blake's. Between the Olympics fiasco and his poor US Open his "spirit" is not in a good place right now. Plus, he has to get ready for Mardy's wedding.

Shamil better be just joking with the Kunitsyn nomination. I guess he wants to possibly use Kunitsyn/Tursunov for doubles if Andreev/Davydenko play all singles rubbers.
Tarpishev apparently refused to name an alternate, but Safin's team says he's going to Buenos Aires.

Ah, it's a lost cause anyway.




I see Ancic is on the Croatian team
