Croatia-South America
Singles 1

Mario d Algo 6-7(6), 7-6(10), 7-6(4), 6-4

one of the best matches I've ever had, specially first 2 sets
On the 3rd set he broke me and had several set points but I saved them and forced the tie break, he had some other set points there that I also saved but he won at the end
At 4th set I had like 15 break points in total, at least 3 in all his service games but I took only 2, when he was 2 breaks up, so it was like I did nothing...also, I hate my dad :sweat: he was talking me about some random stuff that got me unfocus, but that's no excuse to say he won because I was unfocused, he played really great

If I had BlackyM's memory I would write a big history about this match, there is a lot more to say


pd: I think I have to take some break from this, I'm taking it too seriously :unsure:

Mario def. Algo 6/7(6) 7/6(10) 7/6(4) 6/3

Croatia leads 1-0

Wow what a match, so many opportunities on both side. I had 6-4 in first tiebreak and 5-1 in
second but he managed to turn over. In last set i was leading 5-2 with two breaks but he started playing better and pushed my service. There were lot of deuces in last game.

W/UE
75/24 for me and
87/49 for him

Good luck in future

i have to say that nadal will have difficulties to play except during the week-end. if we don't see him for several days, i think i will take his place in doubles, and probably in his match against mannarino. for the last single, we will see, because kyuuji is busy too and it depends on the other results.

Yup, that's how Davis Cup should work. Change whatever you want. :D

Santiago92 / David Nalbandian def Mario Ancic / Marin Cilic 6-1, 6-0, 6-2

I played my best in a very important match for first time! In my favourite surface, I played one of the best matches of mine (maybe the best) in Davis Cup... I'm very happy cause I couldn't play my best in the 2 finals of doubles I already play and finally lost them.
He didn't play bad, it was just myself...

Good luck for future tournaments Mario, but not Davis Cup :P

Croatia 1 - South America 1

tati cornet/tursunova def jakab/jakab 36 64 62 61

my player 3 was bad, but his player 3 was really bad! unfortunately he only did errors after the second set and krisz was bothered then at 31, he didn't really fight anymore. i am sorry for him, because he is good and i know how frustrating it is to lose due to your partner.

good luck for the rest of the season...

Croatia - South America 2-1

BlackyM - Santiago 6-1, 6-1, 6-3

nice match, lots of lag, he had chance to break me in first game, after that I started to play as I supposed to, and stopped him from having any more chances.

Whole match I was pretty much error-less. Only 3 errors per set, 9 in total, in first set ha had only 1 error. But in winners I was far ahead and that won me a match today.
