Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Sure. But how would you do that? The doubles match was played on Saturday, with two pending singles still. So it was only the decider if one team was up 2-0, hardly making it critical for the team up 2, and although vital for the 0-2 team, they would still need two more, equally important. If they were 1-1, the doubles could be as much as a decider as the first win for either team.
Very difficult to say that a doubles match ever decided a DC tie. In Fed cup, at least they played it as the last match, making it more relevant.

It's airing on CBS Sports Network? That means it's basically in the Witness Protection Program.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Honestly to me it seems like they want it to fail. I remember watching Davis Cup ties (even when the US wasn't still in it) in the US on ESPN and then TC. If this thread hadn't been here, I wouldn't have even known it was happening, and I (like all of y'all) are much more into tennis than the average person.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Oh I think they do. Or at least the ATP and the Grand Slams not named RG don't care if it succeeds. When I tell you that the ATP and the US Open will Tweet if someone on tour breathes at a tournament, I mean it. But what do I get about the Davis Cup? Nada. But interestingly enough, they seem to be on very good terms with Fed Cup. It's real strange and something is definitely going on behind the scenes.dmforever wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:54 am Honestly to me it seems like they want it to fail.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
No, of course I meant only the last portion of ties, when it is 3 matches and the doubles were the last one.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 10:17 pm Sure. But how would you do that?

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Methinks RTF is going to win this thing...though Rublev hasn't been as good as I expected....it is up to Djokovic now to produce some heroics in doubles now- that is the only way RTF can be stopped...

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Though I expect Croatia to get past Serbia anyway, with their strength in doubles...but can they beat RTF? Doubtful ....

Sincerely, on basis of strength, Russia is right now the top team.
But there is so little coverage of the event I can't find any info.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Serbia is in a hole now. Djokovic will have to beat Cilic not spending too much energy and then win against very strong Croat doubles. This is the stuff worthy of G.O.A.T.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
I usually download torrents. But even though Russian is my first language, I can't stand Russian commentary. And the matches frequently have only that (( Also you can watch extended highlights on Youtube

I don't mind Russian commentary. I can assure you it will be less painful than what I have to put up with in L. America.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
As I expected, doubles is key in this format, and Croatia has one of the best doubles teams

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Djokovic isn't good enough at doubles to beat a good team..Nadal or Murray might have managed it..as I said, doubles is also tennis, and should be considered in the GOAT debate..!
