Other doodles from the Davis Cup week-end

An indignant Federer censured Novak Djokovic for faking injuries during the match the Serbian won against Stanislav Wawrinka 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4. A strangely stern-faced Roger Federer complained Djokovic's health issues on Friday. “You know, I don't trust his injuries...” he said in the after match press conference “I think it's a joke when it comes down to his injuries. I mean, the rules are there to be used but not abused. He was doing it many times, that's why I was not happy to see him doing that and then running around like a rabbit again, so...Yeah, it was a good handshake for me. I was happy to beat him”. That’s why, when it came his turn The Fed had no pity for the Serbian kid, allowing him the little of 8 games in a 3 sets cakewalk (6-3 6-2 6-3). Quite unusual for Federer to say something like that ! I didn't watch the indicted match, but I know Novak, so I can figure out how annoying can be; he is often getting something treated, so (he) has been building a bit of e reputation for supposedly faking injuries.
Argentina cruised through to Davis Cup final. If at the start of Friday someone had forecasted a 5-0 win over Australia, few would have believed it. But that’s it. Jose Acasuso, pulled by the local crowd, won the match of his life against Lleyton Hewitt; Calleri and Nalbandian made the effort to defeat in straight set (6-4 7-5) the Aussie doubles pairing of Wayne Arthurs and Paul Hanley.
Belgium got back in the World Group of the DC to the detriment of Slovak Republic, which made the finals last season and next year will be relegated to the Zonal Group I in 2007. Congrats to Olivier Rochus and Kristof Vliegen. The key factor was winning the doubles, it gave Belgium a considerable confidence for the last 2 rubbers, so Oli Rochus steamrolled Hrbaty 6-2 6-3 6-3 and wins 3rd decisive point for Belgium.
In the end, the Nadal thing: Rafa keeps on improving his own record on clay court. Outlasting a good Volandri (the Italian was 2 points away from a 2 sets to love leading) has extended its record-setting winning streak to 62 matches (undefeated in 2006).
