Davis Cup Preview 2005-09-20 This Friday, Andy will lead the US Davis Cup team in the World Group Play-Off against Belgium. As the host team, Belgium chose the indoor complex, Sportplaza Leuven which houses red clay courts. Although the US team will face a crowd nearing the 3500 seat capacity, Coach McEnroe brings a young yet experienced team to this Davis Cup competition. Andy will be joined by James Blake, Robby Ginepri, The Bryan Brothers and hitting partners Alex Clayton and Sam Querrey. =>这星期五Andy将带队挑战比利时啦!! >D< 美国队的阵容是Andy + Blake + Ginepri + Bryans 此次场地将可容纳3500人 为红土球场 In a bit of controversy Belgium's Coach Steve Martens named Olivier Rochus, Christophe Rochus, Steve Darcis, and Kristof Vliegen to his squad. Despite Belgium not including their highest ranked player, Xavier Malisse, in the team, Coach McEnroe does not underestimate the Rochus brothers, or question why the Belgians chose clay over another surface. "Well, they're small. Sometimes the ball can get up high on them. I think on clay the ball can bounce up a bit higher than on a hard court. Maybe that's a factor. Christophe, who hadn't had a great year, qualified and got to the semis of Hamburg and beat Gaudio and beat some real good players. So they're capable of playing well," McEnroe explained at the US Open. "I mean, Olivier is a good all-court player. He can come to net. He's got good hands. The answer to that is I'm not really sure, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over the fact that their results are better on hard court; I'm happy about that. But so are our results better on hard court, too. =>比利时的阵容是Olivier Rochus + Belgium Rochus + Darcis + Kristof 其他的是McEnore的访问 我就不翻译啦!XD This will be the fourth Davis Cup meeting between the US and Belgium. The US has been victorious in all three previous match ups most recently in 1998 in Indianapolis. This match determines if the United States will remain in the World Group next year and maintain eligible for the 2006 Davis Cup Title. The United States finds itself in this pressure situation following the surprise 2-3 home defeat to Croatia in the opening round of this year's World Group. =>这已经是第四次交手啦! 目前美国还没输过 这次比赛将决定美国是否还能在World Group 还有是否能继续挑战Davis Cup (2006) 美国备受压力 原因当然就是因为上次输给了Croatia啊...Orz The Play-Off will start with two singles matches on Friday, followed by the doubles match on Saturday, and conclude with the final two singles matches on Sunday. In a best of five, it is imperative that the United States gets off to a good start on Friday. The draw and order of play should be announced later this week. =>这次比赛星期五将举行单打 星期六是双打 星期天是单打 希望美国在星期五就有好的开始啊!! >D< You can catch live coverage of the US vs. Belgium on ESPN2, Friday, September 23rd at 3:00 PM EST, and Sunday, September 25th 1:00 PM EST. =>ESPN2有转播 想当然台湾 怎麽可能会有呢?!
