Entertaining match to watch, you got to give it to Youzhny, he's a great competitor. Blake was just a little better today in the big moments. It's great to see James win a big match like this, he played very well. :worship:
It's not looking too bright for Russia, with the Bryans up tomorrow.

Good for James to win a close match.

So he choked serving for it @ 5-4.

all can be forgiven since he still won in 4.

 

[Stensland]

yep, this is over by saturday, as expected. 'bout time the states take the title again.

Nice to see blake NOT choking away a big DC match

Bryans to close it out tomorrow and let the REAL off season begin

Great play overall from Blake - pretty poor play on the part of Youzhny. You gotta give it to Blake, though - he's the biggest head case there is. With the clear advantage in play he had, it's a miracle he let this match get this close. The only reason it was is because Youzhny is so much better mentally, because clearly, Blake's advantage in this match was greater than the score indicates.

What the fuck was Youzhny thinking when he hit that drop shot:retard:

If Mike and Bob win tomorrow, I'd LOVE to see PMAC put Donald Young and John Isner in for the dead rubbers. Just to give them the experience.

Only the guys on the 4 player roster can play.

What a great fun match to watch. I totally enjoy watching both these guys play no matter win or lose.
Kudos to Blake who can run down just about anything and Youzhny's glorious down the line backhand.

But USA USA USA

Good effort indeed from Blake there to thug it out - it got very dicey after the fairly comfortable first set.

Somehow he found a way to get it done in the clutch moments and this tie is now pretty much over as a contest - I can't see at all the Russians now scoring a win over the Bryans, Roddick & Blake to take the final 3 rubbers. Frankly they needed both Blake points and then either 1 from Roddick or somehow the doubles and that's screwed now so it looks like Dream Come True time for Roddick & the boys.

Not true if it's a dead rubber and the other team agrees.

Aww.. well, it would have been nice to see and for those guys to do.

 

[Havok]

About time Blake gets a point for the USA. All year long it's been the Roddick & Bryans show, with Blake turning up lame time and time again. What a time to do it though; finals!

Yep, no question it was time he stepped up and delivered one for the team effort.

He can hold his head high now though - when they lift the trophy, probably tomorrow, he'll do it knowing he got it done when it counted.

James "Thank God He Didn't Choke" Blake rocks!! :worship: :worship:

 

[Angle Queen]

It's always nice to see one of the big boys choke serving for the set/match (just like us recreational hacks do).

Didn't see the first set. And as I've been impressed with what little I've seen of Youzhny before...I wasn't surprised to see three straight tiebreaks. As an American, I'm glad James won....but dang, dude, did you have to make it so close?

Indeed, an entertaining match even without too many extended rallies. Nice backhand from the Russian today. Nice to see James pull it out after seemingly choking it away.
