World Group 1st Round: Russia at Chile (February 9-11, 2007)

Out Tursunov and Korolev, Davydenko withdraw:eek: , ¿who they come for the Russian team? ¿Safin and Andreev only?:shrug:

Out Tursunov and Korolev, Davydenko withdraw:eek: , ¿who they come for the Russian team? ¿Safin and Andreev only?:shrug:

and Kunitsyn and Gabashvili it seems :zzz:

Kunitsyn is playing in Hawaii challenger the previous week so it seems he will play here.

Very weak team for Russia this time. But with Safin and Andreev only can give some damage too... there's not total advantage for Chile. But obviously now we have the major advantage.

Davydenko :ras: :rolleyes:

Vamos Chile Mier...!!!

http://www.daviscup.com/news/newsarticle.asp?id=13995

that's old news :p

Well this is Chile's chance to go deep into the Davis Cup, France or Romania 2nd Round Chile may even make the semis. Russia in all sorts of trouble. This might be a bit wild thinking but it happened to Slovakia made the final in 2005 and were relegated to Euro/Afr Zone 1 in 2006, it may happen to Russia if they can't find the players and a hot team like Serbia plays them in the playoffs Russia is in big trouble.

Chile cannot miss this chance.

With Gonzalez on this kind of form, Chile could win the Davis Cup.

Safin, Andreev, Gabashvili and Schukin in Russian team.

0-5 is guaranted :sad:

But who cares! We just won Davis Cup! And will win it again if we plays in Europe.

davai Russia!!

we will win 4-1 :yeah:

VAMOS CHILE!!!!!

Vamos Chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chile is going to win this round...
With Feña, Nico and bit of luck can win the cup

I go to La Serena.

Anyone know why Youzhny withdrew?

Deberiamos ganar. Massu aumenta su nivel jugando por Chile. Por lo tanto, mínimo deberia ganarle a Andreev.
Y González, deberia ganar sus 2 singles.

3-2 o 4-1

Anyone know why Youzhny withdrew?
Because the captain didn't need him for this tie :lol:

Vamos Chile!!! :bounce:

Chile in big trouble

Yeah Chile was favourite to win but they show lack of form

OMG :eek:

I just got back from work and I can't believe the score. Gonzo and Massu are suppose to be invincible when they play for their country.

I expected Safin to roll over Massu but very suprising to see Gonzo losing

Someone tell the scoreboard operator in chile to wake up from his afternoon nap

Andreev 4-6 6-4 6-3 0-0*

Gonzo's not more a claycourter... now it's only a hardcourt and indoors player... he forgot how to play on clay :mad:

Fena Gonzalez score?

Anyone watching please post scores DC scorebpoard is down Thanks

Or a Stream///

4-6 6-4 6-3 2-0*

Andreev 4-6 6-4 6-3 0-0*

Gonzo's not more a claycourter... now it's only a hardcourt and indoors player... he forgot how to play on clay :mad:
The problem is not clay, it's rest. Again, he should have rested.

wtf happened to gonzo?

andreev *3-0

*3-0 Igor :banana:

people forget that Andreev was the last person to beat Piggy on clay ;)

3-0 Igor serving. The russians love to play for their country.

4-0 Igor :yeah:

3 bps :D

Igor, thanks for this gift to Russians:yippee:

fena :sad: stupidddddddd

and its *5-0 :D

Massu and gonzo must be feeling terrible about this. 0-40 Gonzo can't get a point from Massu...How embarrassing for them in their own counbtry....

ANY STREAM FOR TODAY????????????????
please....

Gonzo/Massu v. Safin/Kunitsyn

vamos poder chileno!!!!!!

Udachi Rossya. Safin hinted that he would play in his DC audio interview yesterday.

Now threy've changed their mind again...Safin/Andreev!

Very interesting tactic by Russia coach today...that man never ceases to surprise me :o :lol:

Obviously Russia want to finish it in the doubles :aplot:

Shamil is smart...really smart

I'm sure Chile didn't like to see Andreev and Safin walk on the court.

Vamos Chile :d

Russia better start returning some serves 9%

Chichichilelelevivachile! :d

Go Russia!

I knew we'd see igor n marat today! hope this strategy works!

It's gotta be Marat serving...first serve fault, 0-30. C'mon boys

Luckily he as a good second....5-4

The stadium is going wild! :lol:


Damn, 00-30 and a couple of FH UEs :sad:

6-5 2 break pt games missed Davai....

now comes the Lottery accdg to Safin

Come on Chile- get this tiebreak!

FsF ...then an Ace....gotta be Marat 2-2 3-2

finally

set chile

Vamos! Chile got the first set. :)

Clean set played by Chile...

Andreev got nervous while serving at **3-4 and Nico/Feña played brilliant to get those minibreaks

:woohoo: Set Chileeeee!

Marat and Igor...wasted bps...:o

they have to find a way to win and silence the crowd.

I am afraid making Andreev/Safin play was not so clever , first set alone took over hour. If Gozno will win with Safin, Andreev may have stamina problmes given the fact that he hasn't played much recently and crow would be crazy if to goes to 2-2

vamoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos

But this match hasn't been won by anyone yet has it.

But this match hasn't been won by anyone yet has it.

Yeah I know, but If Russia lost it close in over 3h match for example it can cost them. Of course there are many ifs but for Russian it would be safer to tank doubles and win it in singles with rested players against much more tired Chileans , just to field other doubles team

It may be over sooner than expected. Interesting how pivotal doubles can be.

4-2 Chile to serve.

Nice to see Fernando and Nico with more confidence. (Even though said confidence looks very blurry through the rather poor quality livestream.)

Nice win for Chile in the doubles. They sure can win both singles.

Gonzalez vs Safin is a good match up.

Gonzalez, Massu keep Chile's Davis Cup hopes alive against Russia
(http://www.sportingo.com/tennis/gonzalez-massu-keep-chiles-davis-cup-hopes-alive-against-russia/1001,2202)
First-round clashes all set for Day Three finales after Spain and Romania win marathon doubles contests.

For the first time in 27 years of the Davis Cup all countries have a chance to move into the second round as we enter day 3 action.

Day Two of play in seven European venues and and one in South America was highlighted by two epic doubles matches lasting over four hours and going to five sets.

Chile fought their way back into the tie against Russia with Olympic gold medalists Fernando Gonzalez and Nicolas Massu defeating Igor Andreev and Marat Safin 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the only tie that involves the same players in both doubles and singles contests, the South Americans must win both reverse singles matches on Sunday to keep their ten-rubber home win streak alive. Gonzalez will be looking for his Australian Open form when he faces off against Safin. This tie can go either way and is one I will be watching closely.

In Krefeld, Germany took a 2-1 advantage following a strong showing by Alexander Waske and Michael Kohlmann who powered to a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 victory over Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic and Mario Ancic, who were riding high on a six-match winning streak in Davis Cup competition. Waske and Kohlmann had the form on the board going into the match following their tournament win last week in Zagreb.

In the reverse singles on Sunday, Tommy Haas has a chance to wrap up the tie when he takes on Ljubicic. If Haas fails, Benjamin Becker will have an excellent chance to beat Ancic, who no doubt will be weary following his illness during the week.

Sorry only saw your message just now as I’m glued in front of the stream ;-) Quality is like Sopcast in the meantime.

I have the Tvants software/player on my computer and it worked for me with the link, don’t know why but that's why I didn’t need to find the station in the list. And I just checked and can't find it. The name of the publisher is Makaikosports. Hopefully you’ll find this name in the publisher column.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
