US Davis Cup team bailed out by the Bryans
Bob and Mike Bryan kept U.S. hopes alive with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Dmitry Tursunov and Mikhail Youzhny in Saturday’s semifinal. The win leaves the Americans trailing 2-1. News Daily
Haven’t we seen this before? James Blake and Andy Roddick both fall apart, and the US team ends up having the doubles match as the only win prior to the final two games?
The article mentions also that Roddick is expecting to not face Youznhy in his final match - which sure would be a let down after all of that Argentina-style trash talk Youzhny laid down on Roddick post-US Open.
I think the Russian team has this one in the bag - Blake just doesn’t have the confidence to pull off his match if it comes down to him, and I just don’t feel like Roddick will fight enough to win against whoever he plays.
