Yeah Anderson not listed on DC website.
I Anderson still trying to become a US citizen?

BTW is this a different venue from the Mersin challenger? I know that's on clay but still.

Coach Akkoyun should switch Marsel to doubles too. Otherwise we will lose. Ilkel is a talented kid, but too nervous anybody saw the match could tell, most probably he will lose his other match too. We need 2 Ilhan wins, and a double win. Crucial.

Ilhan def. Vorster 6-4 6-3 7-5

First two sets were comfortable for Marsel, he just got the break in the first games of the set, then he Federer'ed. Third set, he lost his serve by playing really bad game, was down 1-3, he got his shit together and got an easy win. Much comfortable than scoreline tells.

Marsel will beat Wolmarans easily, too... Vorster is even serving better than Wolmarans, so Cem has little chance against him in the 5th tie. Marsel should play tomorrow.

In first 2 sets, Ilkel was a bit nervous agan. But afterwards, Marsel is playing below mediocre level. He is tired after Dubai, i may agree, but still.

If we lose this, tie is lost. Fight guys, fight!

Effort would be nothing, our top guys just tired out themselves...Tomorrow even Marsel may lose. F**k.

Who the fuck, guy in suit next to SA team? He changes the chair umpire's decision all the time, and again now? Then put a neutral chair umpire there. We lose this, if it goes to 5.

Epic choke.

Marsel was leading by a break in the third set, lost.
Marsel was leading by a break in the fourth set, lost.
Marsel was leading 5-2 in fifth set, got broken while serving for the match at 5-3.
Marsel had 0-40 in Wolmarans serve at 5-4 up, he lost five points in a row.

Now, Marsel leading 6-5 in the fifth set.
