Superb start from Argentina. I did expect a 2-0 lead from them. But never did I thought that guy Galung had some surprises under his sleeves. It was only then the experience that Chela had the edge from the game. Monaco was simply a class above compare to his opponent. I’m happy to see both players making a triumphant return to the team.

Hopefully our doubles can get the job done in Day 2. So do you think the Dutch can make a remarkable comeback in this tie? After all this is the Davis Cup where anything is possible.

Argentina all the way. They are too deep for the Netherlands. Jesse is an up-and-comer, so I am sure he will give Argentina trouble in the future.
