Switzerland meets the US
The Swiss Davis Cup team will play the United States in the first round of the 2009 Davis Cup competition (March 6-8, 2009).
The Swiss team gained promotion to the elite World Group last weekend after a one-year absence. The match in the US could feature the world's number one ranked doubles pair, the Bryan twins, against Roger Federer/Stanislas Wawrinka, who won gold in the doubles event at the Beijing Olympics.
The Swiss played three of the last ten encounters abroad, one of which - 2007 against the Czech Republic - they lost. The US team around Patrick McEnroe last won the Cup in 2007 and lost in this year's semi-final against Spain last weekend.
Severin Lüthi, the captain of the Swiss team, said it will be a difficult task against the USA, the 32-times-champion. "The Americans have a lot of strong singles players as well as the Bryan brothers, the leading doubles team in the world. But our team has chances against any other nation." Switzerland is the only team in the World Group next to the USA and Spain with two top-ten players.
The location of play is still open, but must be decided upon by December 16, 2008, according to the regulations of the International Tennis Federation.
The first round:
Argentina - Netherlands
Czech Republic - France
USA - Switzerland
Cratia - Chile
Sweden - Israel
Russia - Rumania
Germany - Austria
Spain - Serbia

I knew something was wrong in my post... I should have written "le placher des vaches" of course.
I agree with you that Fakovic does not seem to have the same confidence and will to win. I think he thought he was the best in the world in January after winning AO (using a bit of faking of course). He thought he had pretty much all
About the female tennis players, I do believe it is much easier for them to win more titles because of the fact that many of them do not attend all the tournaments even the Masters. For example, here at the Rogers Cup, many of
Ha, ha, ha, I agree with you re. Djokovic. He is and will be always Fakovic or Djokoquit unless he grows up in TRUE SENSE in many ways.

I agree with you. I also saw the TV program about Stefi. Somehow some fe
