Djokovic got booed yesterday when he retired during his match due to an eye infection.  

I didn't see the 3rd set between Fritz and Querrey but somehow I knew Fritz would have a lapse.  Like I said before, Sam is a terrible player (especially for someone of his height and reach) but he's not dumb.  He had a sense that Fritz was having a lapse in focus and took advantage.  Fritz needs to get more experience and hopefully he'll figure out how to regain focus in a match when something like this happens in future.  Staying healthy is also a must (I'm looking at you Nick Kyrgios!) because a lot of these young guys seem to have physical issues at a very young age now.

Grigor:wub:..I remember all the controversy when he would kiss the guys after matches. His game was actually better during that time. Now he is too busy dating famous females to care about his game. 

 

I have my favorites and Grigor is one of them but I am slowly getting on the Thiem bandwagon…...

Lleyton Hewitt cannot let go already.  He's not Davis Cup captain for 2 minutes before deciding to sub himself in for Kyrgios, who has a viral infection.  People are joking that this gives Hewitt another chance to lose yet another 5 set match.  

Without Nick, I think the American squad's chances to win this tie just rose.

Hewitt needs to retire from tennis all together. No Davis Cup…nada….LOL….I can't take him anymore. He still thinks he can compete with the newbie players. He is just embarrassing himself. Who is playing for the Americans? I know coverage starts tomorrow night on Tennis Channel.

For the U.S., I think Isner, Sock and the Bryans, I haven't checked lately to see who else was going.  I wonder if Querrey is also there?  With his recent success, he could've been asked to travel and practice with the team to be available.

 

Canada will have neither Raonic nor Nestor, who is one of Canada's best doubles players.
