We are in first round here at Bucharest.We have Adrian Ungur number 131 in ATP ranking and Lukas Rosol number 74 in ATP ranking.Ungur had some good result on clay this season,but in Davis Cup this weekend when Romania lost 5-0 against Czech Republic.His game was very weak,won only 5 games against Stepanek 6-3 6-2 6-0.I agree that Stepanek is on other level then Ungur,but Ungur with his clay result should have put more problems.Today he will meet Lukas Rosol.Rosol also played for Czech Republic and won in last day on the game 6-4 7-6 against Marius Copil.I think that Rosol will take this,after I saw Ungur's game I think he will be a easy match for Rosol to advance in second round.- bybettingexpert.com

Rafael Nadal shrugged off his disappointment and fatigue from losing the U.S. Open final to rout Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-0, 6-1 Friday and help Spain take a 2-0 lead over France in the Davis Cup semifinals.
Nadal, playing on his favored outdoor clay in hot conditions at Cordoba’s bullring only four days after losing to Novak Djokovic in New York, mixed precision and power to give the hosts the early lead.

Nadal, meanwhile, hasn’t lost a Davis Cup singles match since his debut in 2004 and, despite draping himself in a towel to hide from the searing heat in the changeovers, that run never looked in doubt.

“Everything worked out for the best. At the start it was complicated and I was at the limit, physically,” said Nadal, who is 13-0 on clay and 17-1 overall in the Davis Cup. “But the effort was positive and in all moments I did what I had to do.”- by http://sports.yahoo.com

Nadal’s 30th winner, an exquisite drop shot, clinched a 2-hour victory in which Gasquet failed to earn a single break point. Gasquet dropped to 0-10 against the second-ranked Spaniard.

12BET:Tennis - ATP - Davis Cup (Winner) 9/16

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic faces a supremely fast turnaround if he is to feature from the start in Serbia’s bid to reach the Davis Cup final. Fresh from winning the US Open title on Monday, the 24 year old embarked on a whirlwind media tour in New York on Tuesday and was due to arrive back in his capital city of Belgrade on Wednesday.

Defending Davis Cup champion Serbia faces Argentina in the World Group semi-finals, with the tie set to begin on Friday. Djokovic is joined on the home team by US Open quarter-finalist Janko Tipsarevic,Viktor Troicki and Nenad Zimonjic, while Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian spearhead the Argentine campaign.

Beaten US Open finalist Rafael Nadal is also pulling out all the stops to represent Spain in the other semi-final against France. The Mallorcan arrived in Cordoba late on Tuesday night, having travelled on a private jet with the president of the Spanish Tennis Federation, José Luis Escañuela. He faces not only the difficulties of weariness and jetlag, but also has the added challenge of switching back to clay after weeks pounding the North American hard courts, with only two days to practise.-

12BET Update: Djokovic Wins!!!

Greatest season ever? Djokovic outlasts Nadal in U.S. Open epic

By Chris Chase

One of the greatest seasons in tennis history was capped by one of the sport's most brilliantly played finals. Novak Djokovic won his third Grand Slam of 2011, holding off a late charge from defending champion Rafael Nadal to win a superb four-set marathon at the U.S. Open, 6-2, 6-3, 6-7, 6-1.

The score line may not look like much but Monday's final was a closely contested match that featured jaw-dropping rallies, remarkable defense and a 17-minute game that may have swung the balance of modern tennis history.

The Game, as it's bound to be called, will go down in the annals of U.S. Open lore. A 17-minute, eight-deuce affair early in the second set gave Djokovic an early edge from which it looked like Nadal may not recover.

Djokovic has defeated Nadal six straight times this season, a streak which will lead to assertions that Djokovic is in his opponent's head. Nadal doesn't help matters with his introspective press conferences in which he wonders the same thing. But Djokovic isn't in Nadal's head. If he was, Nadal wouldn't have fought so hard in that third set to come back. He wouldn't have believed he could win the match. A broken man would have waived the white flag in the third, accepted his runner-up trophy and gone back home.

The issue for Nadal is that Novak Djokovic is a better tennis player right now, one who's in the midst of the greatest run the sport has ever seen.

TENNIS: Novak Djokovic (SRB) VS Rafael Nadal (ESP) 12BET 9/13 4:00AM (GMT+8)

If Nadal can halt the Djokovic juggernaut here on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows, he’ll have gone a long way to applying significant balm to a gaping wound. Djokovic has had a career year, losing just two matches thus far (he’s a stupendous 63-2), but that undeniable day-in, day-out excellence will pale slightly if Nadal can finish 1-1 with Djokovic in 2011 Grand Slam encounters and hold him to just two Grand Slam titles (in addition to Wimbledon, Djokovic won the Australian Open).
