Davis Cup Day One


Hey everyone...Day 1 of the Davis Cup is over and leaves Spain and Argentina in a 1-1 tie.

Due to the new emergence of Del Potro as one of the big boys, and mix that with an injured Rafa nowhere in sight, Argentina looks poised to win.

Match 1 would strongly support Argentina's strength.  David Nalbandian dismantled Ferrer 3,2, and 3.  This match seemed like it would be about 7 hours, and barely lasted 2.  

So Nalbandian won, Lopez next played Del Potro...looks like a 2-0 lead for Argentina...not quite.

Lopez stepped up and upset Juan 4-6,7-6(2), 7-6(4), 6-3.  Leaving a critical doubles point tomorrow.  

Stay Tuned tomorrow for my first edition of Tiebreak's '08 and the results of the Davis Cup Doubles.

take care.

David Nalbandian and Lopez played well. Argentina caught a lucky break with Nadal out.

Its good to see that Nalbandian is looking more like the fighter we used to see. He seems to have had a rough year.
