SANTI!!!!
maybe all these whiny players should blame themselves; i think they spend too much time in the gym that they wear themselves out.
I don't see why the tour doesn't give them 12 weeks off. This would mean the Davis Cup final would be played earlier.
The Davis Cup should be once every four years.
It would be a big deal then. Though, I am a sucker for Davis Cup. I get sucked in. I can't help it.
