Switzerland V Aussies

Allez Stan, Mike, Yves, George!!! Beat the bad boys:ras:

Should be an interesting tie with both Countries without their top ranked player. It doesn't really look like a World Group match.

The Draw for Switzerland v Australia in Geneva is as follows:

Michael Lammer (SUI) v Peter Luczak (AUS)
Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) v Chris Guccione (AUS)

Yves Allegro /George Bastl (SUI) v Wayne Arthurs /Paul Hanley (AUS)

Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) v Peter Luczak (AUS)
Michael Lammer (SUI) v Chris Guccione (AUS)

Lammer will take it up the arse:D

I don't think Guccione suits clay but hopefully he can make a good account of himself.

This is the first time since playing Argentina on clay a few years ago that I've thought Australia are going to have a really tought time.

come on AUS

Hope Aussies will win! :angel:

Go Swiss boys !!!

Well, I hope that Luczak will win both of hid single matches, so it's up to the double:angel:

GOOOOO SWITZERLAND!!! I seriously can't stand the aussie guys

Peter, you better win 1 & 1 and 1

You're a disgrace for switzerland

142857 is a cyclic number -- its digits always appear in the same order
but will rotate around when multiplied by any number from 1 to 6:

142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 2 = 285714
142857 x 3 = 428571
142857 x 4 = 571428
142857 x 5 = 714285
142857 x 6 = 857142

...now multiply 142857 by 7.

Lammer plays great so far, cmon Pet!

Hopp Swiss guys :bounce:

I'm pretty confident that Roger and Lleyton had a conversation in the locker room at Melbourne, and agreed to both sit home for the first round.

Lleyton's so smart to avoid playin Roger again and Aussies still win this tie;)!
Also good for Roger.He can save his energy for Grand Slams.

Come on Switzerland, you must win!!!

well done! Aussies!
Now Peter,beat Wawa in straights!:fiery: Good luck!

Nothing's over, Wawa should defeat Peter, and Bastl can do well against Guccione, specially in front of a home crowd...

I cann't understand why Federer refused to play for his country??? Cause of Roland Garros??? But it will be only in June. Is he a real patriot? I don't think so... Max or Vova will come & play for Belarus in any case, cause they love their country, their behaviour is a good example for Roger! Any way, I hope Switzerland will win & come in Belarus, & I will see Roger in Minsk...if he comes of couse...but if he decides that Roland Garros or Wimbledon is more important than his country it will be better for us, cause we will beat you very easy, like Spain today I'm sure!!!

The story is that Roger is/was involved in some kind of feud with the Swiss tennis federation. I had thought that it had been resolved when Marc Rosset was ousted as Davis Cup captain and replaced with the current guy, but apparently, there's more to it than that.

Tennis stars feuding with their tennis federations over Davis Cup is a long and honorable tradition, it seems. At various times in their careers, Agassi, Guga, and Sampras all did the same, and Lleyton and Roger are now following suit. And the French team has been a soap opera for years now. :shrug:

However, for the first round, I believe that Lleyton and Roger agreed with each other before hand not to play (no evidence, just speculation on my part).

:sad: I hope the Swiss can take the singles, but it'll be tough...

Common Swiss, but it will be very difficult to win the last single. I think that Bastl have to play it.

Come on Aussies :p

one more baby lets roll Luczak and Gooch :D

do you have any source for this supposed speculation? if not, then dont post crap.

what time does play start? local time?

Come on Luczak!!! :rocker2:

How can you compare Roger with Max or the other Belarus player ? :rolleyes: Roger has to achieve a lot more important targets this year, so DC is not his priority at all...

No that's an old story, Roger has no problem anymore with the Swiss tennis federation, at least towards other Swiss players/coach/stuff :shrug: ... His decision not to play is only because he needs rest to achieve the better clay season he can and do the best possible at the FO...

yes WAWA

I'm not saying it's correct, but there are still current reports about Roger and the Swiss Tennis Federation not seeing eye to eye on things. I'm not criticizing Roger for missing the tie, I agree with the argument that Davis Cup obligations aren't compatible with a top-ranked player's schedule.

http://www.tennis-x.com/story/2006-02-12/d.php

Both teams' top players are missing this tie amidst squabbling with their respective national tennis federations -- world No. 1 Roger Federer saying he needs a rest, and Lleyton Hewitt saying his foot is still injured, though the Aussie is scheduled to play the ATP stop in San Jose in a few days.

Nice Wawa, one more set for a terrific 5th match !

CMON WAWA


finish his ass off!

Wawa *1-1

holds

2-1*

Wawa holds

3-2*

Wawa outta balance:)

Missed BP, momentum with PETE! 3 BPs

back to deuce ;)

Now break Stan and finish Peter in straights !!

How can you compare Roger with Max or the other Belarus player ? :rolleyes: Roger has to achieve a lot more important targets this year, so DC is not his priority at all...
I think that if he is a real patriot, he must come and play for his team, because it's more important to help your country, than to win another GS! :cool:


His decision not to play is only because he needs rest to achieve the better clay season he can and do the best possible at the FO...
That's a very good news for Belarus! Common Switzerland win your game against Aussies & then come to Belarus without Roger & try to win! :rolleyes: ... I mean try to win at least one game against Voltchkov & Mirnyi :devil: You're welcome :p

I think that if he is a real patriot, he must come and play for his team, because it's more important to help your country, than to win another GS! :cool:

:lol: first tie of DC is definitely much more important that chasing Slams :rolleyes: Do you have a clue about a sport called tennis ?

3rd set : 6-6 ~ into the TB now... :)

C'mon Peter !!! :yeah:

C'mon, Peter

PETE, STEAM ROLL HIM!

Thatta Boy Luczak!!!!!!!!!

for fuck sakes


Wawa you idiot

Let's see if Wawa has any balls whatsover...that was truly pathetic

Very well played by Pete:worship:

Wawrinka now just hits as hard as possible, and makes an huge amount of UE's.

:mad:


dont piss me off Wawa...win this fuckin match already

:lol: first tie of DC is definitely much more important that chasing Slams :rolleyes: Do you have a clue about a sport called tennis ?
I think that for real patriots their country is much more important!!! I'm sure that Olympic gold medal for Massu(in singles & in Doubles with Gonza) is much more important than to win a GS! Because it was a medal for his country! DC for Massu & Gonzalez is a very important competition, much more important than RG, cause they are patriots! Max & Vova are a real patriots like Massu & Gonzalez, I'm sure that they want to win DC much more than RG!

2bp Wawa


TAKE EM!!!!!!!!!!

and he blows em...


nice job

I think that for real patriots their country is much more important!!!

Fact is tennis is an individual sport. Grand Slams are the most important things of that sport. Patriotism does not make sense.

Now that he doesn't win it in straight, i can't see wawa winning this one anymore...

2 tough days in a row... wonder how much he has left in the tank... i guess that's why he was going for the winners so much (thus, the UEs) cuz he wanted to keep the points short and quick.

Peter, it's yours to win it now... don't choke~! :yeah:

bp #3

blows it

Wawa serving

*0-1

Wawa holds


1-1*


NOW BREAK HIM!!!!!!!!!!

WAWA BREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




:worship:

Wawa 3-1*

Luczak holds...

Wawa leads *3-2

Here's hoping Guccione can play the match of his life now.

Now finish him Stan ! Go !

Wawa 4-2*

wow, what an easy win for Wawa!

gsm wawa

yup...

GSM : Wawrinka 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (7), 6-2 !!!

OMG peter

CMON CHRIS

Who will play last single for swiss??

last heard, it was Bastl...

They're 2-2 first set right now

Gucci leads 3-2

Fact is tennis is an individual sport. Grand Slams are the most important things of that sport. Patriotism does not make sense.
Fact is DC (& Olympic games of course) is a unique competition where players defend honour of their country! Some players prefer to win another GS, another million & some players such as Massu, Gonzalez, Voltchkov, Mirnyi show their best in DC & Olympic games. In DC there are no names only the name of your country!
Of course Federer a great player but he'll never understand that it's much more important to win a DC for his country than to win GS for Federer. GS is an individual prise, DC is a prise for whole country!...
May be you cann't understand this, so you should visit Belarus (I hope Bastle will win his game) & there you will see what is patriotism!

Mayb the reason why Roger doesn't wanna play in DC is because he doesn't hv the faith in his teammates... I mean, if he knew that just by himself, it's not gonna be enough to win the DC, especially against countries who has strong players in both #1 and #2 and doubles (eg.USA) :rolleyes:

Gucci leads 4-3

Get up Gonza, nobody gives a shit to DC ! Be a soccer fan if you want to show your patriotism !

no one seems to be following Chris's match now, even tho it's the most important one... :rolleyes:

no one seems to be following Chris's match now, even tho it's the most important one... :rolleyes:

Of course I do follow ;)

Gucci *4-4

it's 4am here in Sydney now... i can't stand it anymore... my eyes are watery as well... bed is calling... good night, guyz... :wavey:

AUSTRALIA RULEZ!!!!!!!!!! :devil:

Ace number 12.

guccione 5-4 bastl

can't go to bed quietly without knowing that Australia has progress to the next round... :p Decide to come back and hv a peek... ;)

Good to see that Gucci is still leading 6-5*

What a luck on the set point !! Come back George !!

What a luck on the set point !! Come back George !!
:hug:

Gucci took the first set !!!! 7-5 ~!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:

Gucci holds 1-0* in second set...

Guccione serves brilliantly, if he keeps doing like that no chance for Bastl !

Guccione is serving really well, I think - on serve, 2-1 Guccione.

Good stuff, Gucci !~! :yeah:

What can Bastl damn do against such serves ? :eek: :shrug:

He can keep holding on to his service games and hope to take it to the tie-break. THEN hopes that Gucci doesn't get a few first serves and steal it. But it's easy to say.... dun think Bastl will last much longer... Gucci will break him soon and take this set 6-3, I'm predicting ~ ;)

Gucci 3-2*

Another quick service game from Gucci... :lol:

Gucci on 23 aces already! :haha: :haha: :haha:

27ACES in a set and a half on CLAY= AMAZING

26 now...3 in his latest service game! :haha: :haha:

Gucci on 23 aces already! :haha: :haha: :haha:
27 actually. ;)

Gucci *3-3

See - even Ljubo can'rt top that ;)

I hope this goes 5 so Gucci can set the ACE record, also didnt he have like 52 in a Wimbledon qualifying match last year

27 actually. ;)

Says 26 on my scoreboard :(

gotta admit Bastl is doing a pretty good job at keeping up with Gucci...

but once again, Gucci takes the lead 4-3*

Now break him !!! :devil:

Sorry - 27...forgot the 1 2nd serve ace! :tape: :o

What is the all-time record for aces in a match by 1 player?

which scoreboard are you guyz looking at ??

51 by PimPim

Gucci with 3 bp !!!

Hmm...not going to get a record today...just the 3 sets by the looks of things :lol:

And he breaks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gucci *5-3 !!!

Breeeeeeeeaaaaakkk!!!

Come on Gucci....game of aces! :haha:

Hahahaha:haha::haha::haha: Bye switzerland, see you in september:haha:

Very impressive display by Gucci... 30 aces in 2 sets and ZERO double-faults !!!!!!!! :eek:

:haha: :haha: ACE ACE ACE to get to 40/0

:sad: Ah well, too bad.

ohhhhooohoho
30 aces so far

LMAO 4 ACES to finish set...31 total now :haha: :haha: :haha:

Gucci 7-5, 6-3, 0-0* !!!!!! :woohoo:

Now give me a 6-4 in the third set to finish the Suisse off please ~ :bigclap:

He's averaging almost 3 a game :tape: :spit: :haha:

I want a Karlovic-Guccione matchup at Wimbledon

Isn't clay-court s'pose to reduce the speed and rebound of the serves??? If Gucci can serve 31 aces on Clay, i wonder how many he'll get if it's on a rebound-ace court !!! :eek:

Let's count.

If he gets in 4 aces per game, and this goes to a tb, we have 24 aces:eek::eek::eek::lol:

I want a Karlovic-Guccione matchup at Wimbledon

It would actually be boring, to tell the truth... nothing but aces... :lol:

It would actually be boring, to tell the truth... nothing but aces... :lol:

But they both have the longest arms so surely they can at least get the frame on the return! :tape:

It would actually be boring, to tell the truth... nothing but aces... :lol:


what would be so boring about seeing 100 Aces hit in a match

Isn't clay-court s'pose to reduce the speed and rebound of the serves??? If Gucci can serve 31 aces on Clay, i wonder how many he'll get if it's on a rebound-ace court !!! :eek:
I don't see a difference there. It could favour the server because the ground isn't flat, so the ball won't bounce as expected for the returner.

Bastl is a crap returner !! He cannot read the serves at all !

Bastl got an ace...bet he feels like Roddick right now :haha:

Let's count.

If he gets in 4 aces per game, and this goes to a tb, we have 24 aces:eek::eek::eek::lol:
not only that, imagine :

Deuce
Adv Gucci [ace]
deuce
adv Gucci [ace]
deuce
.
.
.

this is another scenario where he can get to 50+ aces... :p

Come on Bastl get a break so we play another set

But they both have the longest arms so surely they can at least get the frame on the return! :tape:
once hit the frame, it goes out anyway... what's the point... :lol:

no ace in that game~~~ :eek:

But he still holds serve pretty comfortably... :D

it would be good if he can set up the world record of aces in a match!!!!!
but chris should need play a fifth set

Come on Bastl get a break so we play another set
yeah, it's chance for gucci to make more aces :p

WTF Gucci No aces that game

Wow...Gucci doesn't serve one ace in 1st game here...what are the chances of that? :shrug:

So according to the live scores, Gucci's fastest serve is 244 kph. Just how slow is this clay court :confused:

Another ace from Bastl to close that game... :hmm:

Bastl leads 2-1*

15-0 [no ace]

30-15 [still no ace]

first double fault! wooohoooo!

and he double-faulted for the first time... 30-30... :mad:

Sign that Gucci's serving arm getting a little tired...0 aces and 1st df.

40-30 [still no ace] :eek:

No ace in 3rd set!

second service games in a row with no ace... Jez is right, i think his arm is getting a bit stiff now... or maybe it's the adrenaline of feeling the victory edging closer and closer... :scared:

now the scenario has turned around a bit...

Bastl is holding on to his service games pretty comfortably with an average of 1 ace per game in this 3rd set... :ras:

whats going on with the scoreboad? doesn´t work...:-(

SB is back... Bastl leads 3-2*

30-15 and still no ace...

ok, it´s working again! :)

come on george!

30 all...

0 aces in 10 first serves in in this third set :sad:

deuce

adv Gucci... with an ACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! (finally) :bigclap:

He hits his first ace :devil:

Gucci's 1st serve percentage has dropped a bit now in the 3rd set... 79% last set... only 69% this set so far....

"only"...;)

Bastl has been holding his service games too easily this set... Gucci should apply some pressure to it... c'mon, i wanna see a 6-4 this set with Gucci the winner... :angel:

Bastl leads 4-3*

Yep...Gucci is definitely tiring...he probably needs a set to recover to be honest.

come on Gucci win this 75 63 67 67 20-18

...just as I say that...

ACE ACE to open up game 8 :haha:

2 aces in a row to take it to 30-0 ~!!! :bigclap: That's more like it ~ ;)

come on Gucci win this 75 63 67 67 20-18

:haha:

Gucci Gucci Gucci

Bastl *4-4....

I smell a break in this game!!! :D

damn... Bastl races out to 40-0... and leads 5-4* ... to ruin my perfect PTS... :sad:

I smell a break in this game!!! :D

I smell a break in that coming game...

the SB seems to be struggling a bit here.... :rolleyes:

another ace !!! 15-0 ~ :yeah:

no ace, but still win the point... 30-0

40-0 ... first comfortable game in this set... :)

Go Gucci1! :lol:

@ jez
are you watching it?

Bastl *5-5

15 aces in first set
16 aces in second set
4 aces in this set so far... :rolleyes:

now Bastl coming out with his own ace... :p

@ Doogie - no...just keeping an eye on the scoreboard from time to time ;)

This will probably go to a tie break, go Bastl !!

15 aces in first set
16 aces in second set
4 aces in this set so far... :rolleyes:

Yeah - sure sign that he is tiring. He needs to finish this off in straight sets really otherwise things could get tricky.

Gucci *5-6

Tie-break

Both guyz been holding their own service games pretty comfortable thrughout this whole set... will be tricky to see who falls in the TB... :rolleyes:

Mayb the pressure will get to Bastl finally and he'll lose it... but same could be said to Gucci... :p

Bastl with a mini-break... 2-0*

Take the TB George!!!
