Steven Martens announced his selection for the barrage Daviscup-tie against Zimbabwe in September:
- Xavier Malisse
- Olivier Rochus
- Gilles Elseneer
- Tom Vanhoudt

I hope they win, so they can play in the world group again next year!

I should be quite dissappointing for Christophe to see Gilles take "his" place in the team. But I think it might be the good decision for this tie (isn't it played on grass or indoor? Gilles should maybe have a better chance on these surfaces than Christophe, who's on his best on gravel!)

Thx :kiss:

Good selection, altough I would've chosen Christophe above Gilles

anyways
C'mon Belgium

 

[King Aaron]

yup Christophe should have been chosen

 

[The Crow]

OMG no Christophe?? Maybe Gilles is better on the surface they play on, but overall Christophe is currently the better player of the two

 

[Come-on-kim]

Christophe refused to come with the team because they're leaving a week before the tie I think and he didn't want to leave so early

 

[The Crow]

Did he have a reason?

Good luck in Zimbabwe, guys!!!

They'll be playing on hardcourt indoors (according to the Daviscup website). Play starts next Friday (20 September) at 12 o'clock.
Kanaal 2 will show the matches live!

My (late) congrats to the whole team for qualifying for the world group again!
They really seemed to have a lot of fun in their Daviscup-meetings! I think they get along really well and that's great!
btw Did you see that Olivier replaced Steven Marten as coach in Gilles' match! He and Gilles had a lot of fun together on their chairs!

Let's now hope they don't draw Argentina or Spain in the 1st round (they could be playing out then). I really want them to play at home (or in Holland) so I can go and cheer for them!! (the 1st round draw is done today!)
