USA defeated Chile today in Davis Cup in Zhuhai, China by a third set tiebreaker in each match.
First it was Reilly Opelka nipping Cristian Garin 63 46 76.
Then it was Brandon Nakashima surviving Alejandro Tabilo 76 26 76 for his first ever Davis Cup win.
The doubles also went the distance with Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajiceck getting the job done vs. Tomas Vera and Matias Soto 46 64 76.
Team USA will play Slovakia on Thursday, while Chile meets Germany.

No Nico Jarry?

Pretty sure Jarry is there too, he’s there top gun too. I’ll ask my friend who is there commentating…

my source in Zhuhai reports, “he has vertigo. weird.”

On a side note I think this is one of the best interviews with Roger Federer in a long time… It actually made me adore him again and forgive after the backstabs at Djokovic. Roger at his best, brought out by Richard Pagliaro. https://www.tennisnow.com/News/2024/September/TN-Q-A-Roger-Federer-on-RF-Collection,-Design-Ins.aspx?fbclid=IwY2xjawFQKKlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeR9wXAc2zis0ko_o4_oyIQGT695qGseDUxKcHwxhCKPMqwDH5-5h3FaMQ_aem_XJgnUuxfHslR2aD1nFRunQ

Poor guy. He’s had injuries now vertigo, damn… Great talent.

Nice interview. He’s the perfect international tennis ambassador.

He’s one of the top ones for sure. Kind of prefer Djokovic. Federer seems to do everything for profits, Laver Cup not taken to poor nations as promised, would like to see RF give back to the sport more than take.

Not sure I’m buying the vertigo Steve. Sounds as suspect as Soderling’s supposed mono.

Jarry comes through in doubles to put Chile over the top.
Also startled to see Dancevic sporting a Grizzly Adams look for his continued coaching dutues for team Canada. He was a prospect I enjoyed back in the day. Never reached his potential.

Steve, Yes Dancevic had a big breakout early in his career in Indy and or Cincy just before US Open but he never reached that height of success again after. However The Biofile with Frank Dancevic I did at US Open one year is a top 5 all time tennis Biofile, I still remember the funny stories. https://www.tennis-prose.com/articles/frank-dancevic-biofile/
