Not strictly tennis.....but is this Matt Damon's twin brother??

No.. but he is kournikova's cousin lol

Korolev.... Interesting, he has talent, but maybe too much of a desire to have a crack at every ball regardless of his position on court.

Haha Deuce, there is a resemblance between them. Speaking of resemblance, don't you think Amer Delic looks like Roger Federer? There was also a player at the Aussie Open, who's name I can't remember, who resembled Marat Safin. It's so funny because we were watching the match with the Marat-look-alike, when they suddenly switched to a match where the actual Marat was playing. I remember telling my mom "See?! Doesn't he look like Marat?" and my mom stopped to look, and then fell out laughing claiming that she thought she was watching Marat all along during the sit down...I remember the Marat look-alike lost to Roger Federer. I'll look his name up.

Anywayz, congrats to Korolev on his positive results.
But, Mardy Fish, you better win this one. There is no excuse, you're the top seed, he's a qualifier, your on good form. I expect for you to be the winner.

Does anyone know if he will be on the David Cup team vs. the Swiss. I'm not sure if he will take the place of an injured James Blake?

Fish won.

But he will not be on the U.S. Davis Cup team for this tie.

Okie, thanks Ricky!
Congrats to Mardy Fish. What was the score?

I take it that James Blake will be in action for team USA then?

Hey Ricky,
So do they think James will be ready for Davis Cup? If not, will it be Querry??
And, what in the world is going on with Robbie Ginepri? I have always liked him, but...

samprallica: interesting what u say about Korolev because Gulbis, whom I think has a gr8 talent and this time last year would've predicted he'd be making inroads into top 10, does exactly the same and has had a very disappointing year.
miniArbre: know who you mean, agree!

Well Korolev hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire either. This is a better result than Gulbis has ever had (other than QF at the French Open), but the Delray draw was borderline terrible. Who was the best player Korolev beat?

The bottom line is both Gulbis and Korolev need to get a heck of a lot smarter about constructing points (among other improvements, mostly mental), before they can start even thinking about reaching the top.

Delic indeed looked a bit like Federer.

And Amen to Ricky's last comment.

Hi Ricky, I wanted to ask you if Gulbis' coach or Korelov's, had coached anyone before whose done really well, i.e. top 20. Thankx.
