Going to Gothenburg

I’m getting ready to get on a plane to Gothenburg tomorrow for the Davis Cup Semifinals between the United States and Sweden, for updated match information you can click here.  The US team will feature current stalwarts Andy Roddick, James Blake, and the Bryan brothers.  Opposing them will be Jonas Bjorkman, Thomas Johanssen, Joachim Johanssen, and Simon Aspelin.  Looks good for us on paper, but we will see.  I’ll have a full preview later in the week, once I’m settled in Gothenburg.  For today here are some links with tennis news from the weekend:

Momma Davenport’s comeback is ahead of schedule.

Russia, after defeating the US in Stowe, VT a couple months back (much to Nifer Knight’s dismay), took home their 3rd Fed Cup.

My personal favorite player of all time is considering retirement.

Fernando Gonzalez, who seems to have fallen off the map since his run to the Australian Open finals, won a singles title for the first time in two years.

Gimelstob on early retirement.

Ana Ivanovic is aiming higher than being just a top 10 player.
