Ricardo Mello (BRA) d. David Josepa (AHO) 60 60 60
:rolleyes:

I'm proud of our bunch of losers! Turning from 0-2 to 3-2, and on the 5th rubber turning a 0-2 set deficit to 3-2 from Frederico Gil! That was AWESOME :worship: :worship: You deserve these bows!

Saoudi - 14 sets in 3 days :eek: This guy deserves a huge word of appreciation.

Looking forward to the Korea NZ Clash . Is I Hyung Taik going to play for Korea>? Can Nielen beat a top 100 player? He can play the big matches despite his ranking in the 400s. It should be a close one in NZ. GD Jones is starting to be a threat at the number 2 singles berth. Finally someone to back up Mark Nielsen- if Hyung Taik isn't there then maybe Jones can win his opening rubber like he has done twice so far- and take some pressure of big Mark's shoulders ...it might get interesting.

Go, Bulgaria!!! I'm sure that in 2006 Bulgaria will be in Group I. We're gonna to beat Ukraine
