Murray chocked up in the on-court interview after his win, saying his grandmother's funeral is today and he couldn't be there. It came up because the interviewer said a 90-year-old fan is attending her first Murray match.

I was sure that Djokovic attends Davis Cup only as a spectator and support for his team. But he went on and played and official match in less than a week after Slam final. And won. Who does he think he is? )) G.O.A.T.? )))

He has always been supportive of DC. And I seriously doubt that after the Djere match at the USO, his matches were draining. It was 3 sets for Shelton, 3 for Medvedev. He must have plenty of gas in his tank

Good more... Rinaldi was a poor captain, made some bad choices .. I would never pick Sloane to play BJK, for instance, but Rinaldi did. I imagine Davenport will do better, but who knows.. captains can lose the entire tie all by themselves..

Did USA win a title under Rinaldi? Think she did and Stephens was part of that team despite losing her matches in the final

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
Yes but any captain with a modicum of sense would not have fielded that team...given the depth the US can muster, I cannot see what they should not have won every FedCup! The #1 role of the captain is to get the best players to play and. #2 is to field the best team. Rinaldi failed on both counts ..

Not disputing your argument on her choices but somehow she got a title

One. Should have been more..! Even today, only the Czechs can come up with a team to match the US...

Swiatek states that the decision to not play at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals is, in fact, due to (once again) the schedule made by WTA & ITF and says it's impossible to attend the event with no time between WTA Finals and BJKC Finals. Hope to see proper changes in the future.

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
same with Pegula and Coco.. apparently the BJK is only for people who dont qualify for the YEC! I wonder how much of it is because of bad blood between the ITF and the WTA (at least there was, in the past..)

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
I hope the US pairs Townsend with Keys for doubles. They would make a good pair . Let us see what clever combination Rinaldi can come up with this time to get the US a defeat...they are in the same group as czechia but presumably the big Czech stars will not play ...only Kvitova....

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
As expected the Czechs were too much for the Americans . Clearly they have more commitment to the BJK..Vondrousova showed up despite having played Cancun..so did Krejcikova and Siniakova

Re: Country Cups (Davis Cup, Fed/BJK Cup)
This time the US defeat is only partly Rinaldi's fault .probably could not have persuaded Coco and Pegula to play..though that is her job. #1 is to get the best players to play, #2 is to field the best team on the given day. Giving media interviews comes a distant #3..I guess nobody cares much about BJK
