Once again thanks for the scores. I was a nervous wreck and am happy Austria won and can continue in the World Group.

very good Austria :bigclap:
Melzer finished the tie with determination not losing anymore time than playing three sets

Lapentti was close at the end of the third to force a fourth set, good for me that it didn't happen!

YEEEEEEaaaaaaaaaHH ... :yeah:

Austria :bounce: :bounce:
Jürgen :bounce: :bounce: :D

:hug:

Gah, Austria won. Brazil will have a strong opponent next year (if lot places Brazil and Ecuador in same draw side). Preferences for Mexico and Venezuela as opponents (Canada would be also an easy match, played on clay).
And Austria, one more chance nest year.
