Davis Cup - Argentina Whitewash the Netherlands
Argentina completed a 5-0 rout over the Dutch in Day 3 after their first round meeting. Martin Vassallo ARGUELLO defeated Matwe MIDDELKOOP in straight sets 6-2 & 6-4. Juan Ignacio CHELA ensured that Argentina finished off with a perfect score after overcoming Thiemo DE BEKKER with ease, 7-5 & 6-2.
Tito VAZUEZ and his men will travel to the Czech Republic for their quarter-final clash in July. VAZQUEZ is aware that without the players that missed this first round, chances of victory are dramatically reduced.
He will probably keep MONACO perhaps doubles specialist Arnold-KER, but the return of DEL POTRO, NALBANDIAN and ACASUSO will be something to work on in order to ensure that the team spirit Argentina is currently building will not be harmed, as a new era dawns for one of the top contenders to the Davis Cup.

Good for Aimar ! I was thinking just yesterday, where the hell is Aimar these days ?! I had lost track of him !
ReplyDeleteLuis Scola has been on a tear for the last 15 games. He's been scoring 14+ppg and adding 10.6rpg for the Rockets in just over 32 minutes a night. Fantastic play. I think he's been the Rockets second best player behind Yao for the last month.
ReplyDeleteI love how the Rockets have been playing since Tracy McGrady went down injured. They're playing through the paint with their frontcourt -- with Yao, Scola, and Artest all smacking people around in the paint. They're dominating the backboards and their defense has been superb. The Rockets are playing some excellent basketball.
I can't believe Aimar is playing in the Portuguese league. A player of his caliber should be playing in one of the top three leagues. That's disappointing. I loved watching Aimar play when he was at Valencia -- his intelligence and vision where a joy to watch.
