Well done Kevin.

 

Unfortunately this match is going to sit in his legs on Sunday.

 

Lets hope Rafa and Djoko can tire each other out. But I doubt that we will see 20 games each in the final set with them

Maybe I should put it another way? Does anyone have a link to live streaming of the tennis.

We use dstvnow.com but you have to sign in through someone's dstv account

Sick and tired of okes knocking Anderson for not playing Davis cup. The oke is a boyjie and totally committed to SA, he only has residency in the US, so couldn't actually play for them even if he wanted. Seems very similar to SA cycling, done all the hardwork himself and now the national body wants their piece of the pie.

 

Let's look at the claim that all the top players play Davis Cup. Federer, hasn't played since 2012.

 

He mentions

Nadal - who has played just 18 ties(34 matches) in 15 years

Federer who hasn't played since 2015

Djokovic and Murray do always play it seems.

 

Is the Davis cup a big deal? Let's look at who was in it this year, first round. Who was there from the top10?

Zverev 3

Cilic 7

Isner 8

 

So if Kevbo wants to play Davis cup..awesome. If he wants to make us proud on the ATP top10 and making grandslam finals, awesome. It's up to him.

Whoever wrote this has absolutely no clue.  As far as I know Kevin did use to play Davis cup but as he went up the seeding ladder he also had to be more selective on which tournaments he play which will be used to prepare for the next Grand Slam.  The Davis Cup normally stuffs up this schedule and was also the reason why he did not participate in it anymore.  Kevin went to great lengths to explain it.  It is so interresting how most of these SA sports stars get to where they are with pretty much no support from the various SA sporting bodies and when they do have success guess who is the first to lay claim to it.

Serina complaining that she's been tested soo often, so much more than her opponents, 5 times this year, so how often do tennis players get tested, and how often is Sagan tested, as an example of a top ranked cyclist.
