Pull out the brooms, go start the bus, pop open the champagne.
The American men have easily defeated their Russian opponents in the finals of the Davis Cup today in Portland with a win by the Bryan brothers in the doubles rubber.
Congrats guys. Job well done.
After having a successful 2007, the Bryan Brothers couldn't keep their momentum going, falling in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the doubles draw.
Kudos to Americans John Isner and Donald Young. Isner won two well-played matches before giving Roger Federer a run for his money in the third round. Young posted his first-ever slam win before benefiting from a walkover against Richard Gasquet in the second round.
Anna Chakvetadze advanced to the quarterfinals at the Open for her first time, beating Monica Seles look-alike Tamira Paszek. Gustavo Kuerten was in Paszek's box, as Larry Passos, Kuerten former coach is now working with Paszek. Pasos couldn't make the trip to NYC, so Kuerten sat in for support of the Austrian who went 7-2 in the second two Majors of the year.
I'm guessing that the ATP is wishing that it was still Sunday. Really wishing.
Steffi Graf, rather, is wishing that Sunday was, well, basically that it just didn't happen.
Ivo Karlovic is hoping for more successful Sundays. As is Jelena Jankovic.
The Bryan Brothers captured their fourth title of the year. Making Sunday somewhat of a successful day for American tennis.
