Canada have a pretty good #2 in Zoricic
Germany..... very good #1
US have a good squad too
Poles have a good trio

we've got a really inexperienced trio but i expect them to do pretty well.

Michaela will win her matches with both feet tied together. all depend on others if they can beat Schoofs and win doubles.

 

[KoOlMaNsEaN]

LETS GO CANADA!!

 

[Jakub]

good luck Poland we have a good chance for a great result here.

 

[KV]

Think Holland will win

are you sure Zoriric is #2?
coz Aleksandra is #3? that must not be right.......
and the Russian team trio i dont think i see them much,
so looking forward to those players from the tennis factory

and too bad Yung-Jan Chan isnt in Taipei's team,
but those TOP 2 players are ranked as the TOP 5
U18 in Taiwan, and they are the best we've got, so good luck

 

[DutchieGirl]

Hup Oranje!

:lolthe Russian team... hope they all have nicknames or else they won't know who the coach is talking to!

the way they are listed on the nominations is what number they will be

#1 plays #1
#2 plays #2

#2 plays her match 1st
so captain has choice of playing #2 or #3 in match 1
if #3 plays then he can play either in 2nd singles
if he plays #2 then #1 has to play.

Our team is pretty solid.... we'll do fine
i don't expect to win the tourn but they probably get out of their group.

Is it on clay TBE???
If so there're more opportunities for a decent Spanish performance

 

[ptkten]

Oh good, I finally like the United States' chances in a team competition. I think as long as Kirkland takes care of Peer, they should win their group and then take it from there.

 

[Jodie]

I'm not TBE, but it is on clay

 

[propi]
