Davis Cup Zonals - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I don't see a thread for the Zonals, so I'll start one here -- They are underway down under, where Danai Udomchoke leads Chris Guccione 76(3) 30 in the first rubber (Thailand vs Australia).

There are live scores and commentary from Oz here:

Poor Australia. Reduced to playing Thailand in DC?

**Klissineopar** · 10-05-2008, 03:35 AM

'Fraid so. Serbia def Australia 4-1 in the World Group Playoffs last September. Losers relegated to Zonal Group I.

**Klissineopar** · 10-05-2008, 06:48 AM

Guccione finally def Udomchoke, in 5 sets:
67(3) 76(6) 46 76(6) 75

Next up:
Lleyton Hewitt vs Kirati Siributwong:

Wimbledon Champion and former world #1 vs... someone who hopefully knows how tennis scoring works.

Wow.

So, Udomchoke learned some endurance as a monk, but not how to close out matche...

Why don't they let Tomic play against Siributwong? He'll probably win, and even if he doesn't, they have other quality players to win the other ties...

By the way, Salmon, I'm offended by your insulting Siributwong, even worse the elder brother! (The younger plays too, I forget his name.) Anyways, here's a reminder of his bellowing ferocity.

Yippety hey! Robin "Thank God the Dutch still have ONE player with a chance of winning tournaments matches on the ATP tour" Haase beat Macedonian world number 777 Lezar Magdincev 6-3 6-2 6-2.

Ireland are playing Morocco in a Group 2 zonal tie this weekend also.

**QzVyZbTg** · 11-04-2008, 02:06 PM

Go canada go!

(Is a zonal what they are playing now? Besides the main group I'm kind of of a DC prude.)

Indeed it is, ptmcmahon!

There's the World Group, which is playing the quarterfinals this weekend, and then there are three or four "zones", depending on which part of the world your country is in. Australasia has four, Europe three, for instance. Teams can be promoted or relegated from one zone to another, and from zone one to the World Group and vice versa.

**fruttomma** · 11-04-2008, 02:25 PM

Morct! Just saw that Ireland is playing Morocco this weekend! Younes el Aynaoui is on the Moroccan team.

See earlier post!

They are playing in Dublin too. If I had thought about it I could probably have gone, but I had totally forgotten about it.

D'oh!

And

Ah, well.. Good luck to Conor Niland.

**Kimaamighed** · 11-04-2008, 02:41 PM

And Ah, well.. Good luck to Conor Niland.

It would be a decent win for Ireland if they can pull it out.

They're playing Chile in Chile on clay, PTMC. Sorry

And, I'm sorry, morct, but, GO YOUNESSSSSSS!

**blenIgnigeSef** · 11-04-2008, 03:40 PM

Lleyton Hewitt d Kirati Siributwong 6-0, 6-0, 6-1

**QzVyZbTg** · 11-04-2008, 04:07 PM

Yeah they probably have little to no chance. I didn't even recognize anyone besides Nestor on the team. Dancevic still afraid to show face in public after IW I see

**fruttomma** · 11-04-2008, 05:37 PM

Thiemo de Bakker beat Predrag Rusevski 5-7 7-5 6-1 7-5 to put the Netherlands 2-0 up over... Macedonia

**ArrichMer** · 11-04-2008, 06:07 PM

Lleyton Hewitt d Kirati Siributwong 6-0, 6-0, 6-1

Hmm, way to back up my earlier post, Kirati
