Why did it take me so long to remember how awesome the French boys can be? Probably distracted by Nadal’s exploits, Feli’s ass, and Nando’s hair! To be fair, quite a few of the French boys have battled injuries through the past few years. But I should have recalled that seeing Tsonga win Bercy in 2008 remains one of my favorite tennis memories.
The French have locked up their spot in the final with a 3-0 victory over Argentina in Davis Cup. They await the results of Serbia vs Czech Republic. I believe the Czechs have a 2-1 lead., after taking the doubles rubber. No dead rubber in that tie! Probably a fight to the very end. In other news, the Swiss are out of the world group having lost 0-3 to a team bought and paid for by Kazakhstan. One less to do on old Fed’s list for next year!
Though am not into team tennis and the nationalistic fervor of Davis cup, I would consider working my ass off to see the French boys hoist that trophy in December.
Congrats to Monfils, a splendid Llodra, Clement, Gasquet, Benneteau, Simon, and Tsonga for their fantastic run. This tourney junkie promises to remember how wonderful you are moving forward.
