Am I the only one that has not owned up to the fact that the tennis season is over?
Davis Cup Finals are going on and I have the feeling not many people care.
Of course, I can't call myself loyal if I don't watch Tomas Berdych and the Czech team take on the Spaniards. TBerd had a big 5 set win yesterday against Almagro. He followed that up with a crucial doubles victory today.
I know many tennis fans and forum contributors have no interest in Davis Cup because it's somewhat antiquated in format and meaningless in the frequency of its occurrences. It also doesn't help that two of the top players are Ferrer and Berdych.
Many folks find Ferrer (alliteration not intended) boring to watch. Can't really argue that.
A lot of people find Berdych too mechanical and rigid. But man can he hit that ball. In love with that forehand.
While the rest of you reminisce about the wonderful 2012 season, I'll still be clinging on to the final day of actual men's tennis. Even if it is Davis Cup.
