Davis Cup Update: The U.S. Team Beats Austria Silly

If you told me before the U.S.-Austria tie, which was being played on some of the worst clay courts that I have ever seen, that U.S. will be this close to a sweep after the second day, I would think you were crazy. But after 2 days on clay, the U.S. team is now leading 3-0. For Roddick and Blake to win matches on clay is a very good sign for the U.S. as they try to repeat as Davis Cup champions. But the next round won’t be on clay. It will be on the U.S. hard courts. And the French team will be an absolute beast of a challenge for the U.S. with Australian Open Finalist Tsonga and Gasquet. The French have a heck of a doubles team too, so I think the next round will be possibly the hardest for the U.S. and will depend on Bryan Brothers more so than before. But this all depends on the top two Frenchmen playing.
