Watching Sinner Djokovic in DC...high quality match on a fast court

Sinner staving off three consecutive match points and then winning on his first is rather impressive

Djokovic's nervy play is even more surprising...seems to be feeling the pressure, at last!

at 5-5 in the third, Djoko again came to the net behind a poor approach and got passed .seems to be losing his nerve, getting desperate...I remember McEnroe saying of Borg - when he comes to the net, I know he is finished...(in 1980 I think, after he beat Borg in the USO finals)

On a fast court, DeMinaur is formidable.. if Italy ends up resting Sinner, Australia will win.. the Aussie doubles team is certainly better than Italy's.. Purcell and Ebden are real doubles specialists.. the tie will being with one point more or less firmly in Aussie hands.

It's a final tie - there is no point in resting anybody. Italy's chance is to win both singles. And it is a good chance, I think..

Arnaldi? When Sonego and Musetti are available? Doesn't look good for Italy's chances...

I forgot about Popyrin. Thought Aussies would put Jordan Thompson as #2. Now their chances are not bad at all.

That was close, in the end...

Wonder if winning this DC will do for Sinner what it did for Djokovic ...after leading Serbia to the Davis Cup in 2010, Djokovic seemed to become a different level player..almost unbeatable 2011 onwards .
Of course, this was a fast indoor court, which suits Sinner, and not going to happen too often ..
