[keqtqiadv]

interesting tie I don't know which team is the best opponent for us

 

[virex]

uruguay?

cuevas is the only concern there

but both colombians can beat our singles players

 

[Victor Giraldo]

What we won 4-1, and reappears GIRALDO FALLA this very consolidated, SALAMANCA Doubles makes it well, caves is what they have only q FALLA but has more level, with this GIRALDO evenly.
Let Colombia !!!!!

 

[NyGeL]

Nice tie, both teams playing with their best. Nice to Falla back.

I think Colombia has better chances, but Cuevas is playing his best and at home could win both singles.

vamos colombia!!!!
Falla will win his two singles matches and the doubles with salamanca. Giraldo probably will loose to cuevas but he will beat the other singles match.
this will be a 4-1 result for colombia

Great, so we can watch more world group ties instead of awful matches and beatings.

Vamos Colombia!

 

[Snowwy]

Falla wont touch Cuevas, good one though jrozen

 

[NoFroz]

I may go to see the match, really nice tie. I think we'll win 3-2, both Cuevas singles, and the doubles.

[Labamba]

interesting tie here, Cuevas is the man in form

could go either way

 

[zicofirol]

interesting that the final day sees the best match Cuevas vs Falla. I am sure fitness will play a role in that outcome considering both are playing singles and doubles.

 

[JeffCandoi]

vamos uruguay

 

[Alonsofz]

I think Colombia 3-2... Cuevas should win his 2 singles and Giraldo should defeat Felder in an eventual 5th. match. Doubles will be decisive.

 

[Eva Kas-Jacobson]

vamos CUEVAS

 

[Jader Magri]

En 1º set, Alejandro Falla estas ganando *5/2, ante Marcel Felder...

 

[Jader Magri]

Set for Falla... 6/2
Espero que Cuevas gane su partido, para tener más emocion en confronto... jejejeje

 

[Jader Magri]

Falla vs. Felder 2/0*

 

[Eva Kas-Jacobson]
