Sela is playing really good. Up 2-0. Hope he closes it out.

 

[Labamba]

GSM Sela 7-6(8) 6-3 6-1

Israel 1-0

 

[EagleWatch]

well done Dudi...

 

[Aphex]

ToJo beats Levy 6-1 6-1 6-3

 

[saras 21]

I guess Wilander will not show up with Bjorkman to the doubles match. Lindnstetd and Aspelin will play against Andyoni.

 

[Aphex]

Erlich/ Ram beat Aspelin/ Lindstedt as expected :shrug: . Now ToJo needs to take out that Dudi dude, so Bjösse can perform DC heroics again. :rocker2:

 

[Filipo]

i think that Sweden will turn the tie and successfully goes to 1/4 finals.

 

[Labamba]

Dudi-Tojo is going to be a huge match, though Björkman is no sure winner in the 5th rubber.

Dudi-Tojo is going to be a huge match, though Björkman is no sure winner in the 5th rubber.

If Dudi does not win, there is no way Harel can beat Bjorkman.

Really hope Sela will win!
