Unfortuantely ESPN and Tennis Channel didnt really bother to mention it, even though it was one of the few bright spots for Americans on the day.<br /><br />Also great effort by Novikov, that was some clutch playing toward the end.<br /><br />What wasn't clutch, Jesse Levine. He led 6-3,6-4,4-0 AND had break point to go up 5-0 and serve for it. He then lost 18 of final 21 games. That's too bad, the win would have been huge for him.<br /><br />Hopefully these doubles teams can keep it going!<br /><br />One side note, it makes no sense to me why they keep putting all the Americans on courts 4 & 10 when there is no tv. Why not put them all on 7,11,13,17 so we can at least watch online? That is the only frustrating thing so far. That means we wont get to see Ram-Johnson at all today, too bad.Austinnoreply@blogger.com
