Players from all over Wyoming went to Boise Idaho to help cheer on the USA Davis Cup team in their quarter final tie with Serbia. I guess we didn't have enough players from Wyoming cheering -- the USA Davis Cup Tema lost. However, there was a record set with the longest doubles match ever played in Davis Cup history, and we were there to be a part of that Davis Cup record.
Question: Who are the Wyoming ladies that are standing behind the Davis Cup trophy that witness this record setting doubles match? Here are the match scores for this record setting match: Ilija Bozoljac/Nenad Zimonjic (SRB) d. Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan (USA) 7-6(5), 7-6(1), 5-7, 4-6, and 15-13.
The first person to email me the correct answer about who these WY ladies are, wins a really cool prize. Game on!
Now for the rest of the story ---
A match that featured early uncertainty for Serbia’s Novak Djokovic finished as another victory for the world’s No. 1 player and his country.
Djokovic shook off an early ankle injury to defeat world No. 20 Sam Querrey, the top-ranked American, 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-0, on Sunday, and Serbia defeated the United States in the Davis Cup World Group Quarterfinal tie, 3-1, on an indoor hard court at Boise State University’s Taco Bell Arena.
Early in the first set, Djokovic appeared to injure his right ankle and took a medical timeout. He returned, and served 12 aces to Querrey’s seven, improving his record against Querrey to 6-1 and his Davis Cup singles record to 22-7. Querrey, battling a pectoral injury of his own that limited his serve, moved to 4-6 in Davis Cup singles and 3-5 in live rubbers, with all three of those live wins coming this year.
Because Djokovic won the clinching tie in four sets, the fourth singles tie – John Isner (USA) vs. Viktor Troicki (SRB) – was not played.
Serbia improved to 2-0 against the United States in Davis Cup and, along with Croatia and Spain, remains one of only three countries to have a winning record against the U.S. Davis Cup Team. Jim Courier’s record in three years as U.S. Davis Cup Captain is 4-3, 1-2 at home.
