Yes I know it's horribly early but the groups and schedule for Hopman Cup are already out, so I thought I'd just start the thread already.


Groups:

Group A

(1) USA Serena Williams and James Blake
(4) Australia Casey Dellacqua and Lleyton Hewitt
(6) Germany Sabine Lisicki and Nicolas Kiefer
(7) Slovak Republic Dominika Cibulkova and Dominik Hrbaty

Group B

(2) Russia Dinara Safina and Marat Safin
(3) France Alize Cornet and Gilles Simon
(5) Italy Flavia Pennetta and Simone Bolelli
(8) Chinese Taipei Su-Wei Hshieh and Yen-Hsun Lu


I like it, Flavia vs Dinara again. And doubles should be awesome anyway
Marat might not play though, I really hope he does


Schedule for Italy
4 jan: Russia vs Italy
6 jan: France vs Italy
8 jan: Italy vs Chinese Taipei


Forza
Lets make this a great start to a great year

(5) Italy Flavia Pennetta and Simone Bolelli

oh my
can't wait

[FORZA SARITA]

Simone is always more down than up so i don't think they will do well

[Mitten Kitten]

i think both Safin/a won't play well 'coz one (Marat) will be still drunk for year end party, Dinara will be overweight due to the christmas and year end party...

[Escape]

I hope Marat does play He will probably beat Simon and lose against Lu

[Mitten Kitten]

any news about Flavia's schedule for 2009?

[maddyus]

Can't wait to see them playing together...hopefully they will do well

She's in Hobart Top seed there.

Silly Flavia

It also seems she's officially confirmed for Acapulco, but we didn't need that confimation did we?

[Mitten Kitten]

what time will Flavia play against Dinara tonight?

[Zamboni]

If I'm right it should be at 2.30am.

[FORZA SARITA]

omg finally the season starts tonight
rai sport + will show hopman cup x 1000000 but they will start at 3:30 am hope they will show something later during the day

[Zamboni]

Last night there was a livestream so I'm just gonna wake up and hope there will be one again.
Dinara owns Flavia, maybe an exhibition is a good opportunity to get that 1st win

[FORZA SARITA]

you know Flavia improved so much from USO so this will be a different story Flavia 7-6 6-2 and i predict the winner of this tie will win it all
