MMM & Jones could have won that one, but Sydney qualies called, no doubt...

Did I do something to offend you??

Nice effort from Kyrgios.

Pospisil will be very tough for Ball. Luczak is a good chance versus Nielsen.

 

[scotthongkong]

A real shame that Sam Groth did not get a start. He certainly should have been selected over some of these youngsters with no experience!

 

[Chris.]

Yeah why didnt Groth get a WC
