Thanks for the new thread! I meant to post earlier but was having issues and we're having snow too.

Rod, in the game they have Johnny Mac and Pat Cash commentating which is hilarious and they have all the players grunts, even Masha

So Vika withdrew from Fed Cup today citing back injury. Bit of a surprise!

You`re both very welcome. Glad that y`all like the new thread.

I`m glad that they have the players grunting in the game, which gives it some accuracy.

Also i`m glad that Vika withdrew from today`s match in the USA-Ukraine Fed Cup tie. There`s no need for her to take the risk if her back isn`t all that well. Hopefully she will be able to give it a go in tomorrow`s match.

I'll be getting the game next week so I'll let y'all know how good it is.

Yeah we'll see if Vika recovers.

I can`t wait to see your review of the game Theresa.

Here`s the latest update from the tour.

First of all in the marquee match, Tomas Berdych defeated 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 to win the Open Sud de France.


We already have an early candidate for worst trophy of the year.

Also Juan Monaco won the Movistar Open in Chile and Mikhail Youzhny won the Zagreb Indoors.





Meanwhile in the Fed Cup, the Czech Republic opened it`s quest to repeat by defeating Germany 4-1 with Petra Kvitova winning two matches, including the clincher in the first reverse singles rubber.



Also Russia defeated Spain, Serbia defeated Belgium and Italy defeated Ukraine 3-2.

So that`s the story from the latest update. Coming up this week will be the first round of Davis Cup along with ]the Pattaya Open and the Open GDF Suez.

You`re very welcome Dimple. It`s always great to have new members like yourself in the FF Tennis Club.

Also i`m glad that you love my new avatar Nikki. How can anyone not love Stefan/Klaus? It`s killing me seeing them at odds, especially with how stubborn Stefan has been with Klaus, who reached out to him in the last episode. I want to see the guys reconcile soon.

Getting back on topic, Sabine Lisicki has withdrawn from the Open GDF Suez in Paris due to a viral illness. Tough break there for Sabine. I hope that she`ll get well soon. Kaia Kanepi also withdrew from the tournament due to a right shoulder injury.

Lastly here are some practice pics from over in Fribourg, Switzerland, where the USA-Switzerland first round Davis Cup tie will be held this weekend.






Nice to see Fed and Stan back together.


However i`m not loving the sight of the red clay.

OMG Berdych and Monfils' trophies are pretty ugly!!

I'm following the news on Novak as he's at the Laureus awards at the moment. He met our British prime minister!



Also good win for Monaco to end his 5 year title drought.

Joseph plays Klaus to PERFECTION. His smile just rocks my world.
