Davis Cup one of the best birthday presents ever

014th Mar 2009My life, ,

It’s nearly a week after the fact, but oh well — I can’t possibly exclude my trip to see the Davis Cup match between the United States and Switzerland from this blog. I won’t bore you with a soliloquy on the wonders of the Davis Cup, held in scenic Birmingham, Ala. Let me tell you, though, I never would have thought the ITF could transform a dirty old arena into a dazzling tennis stadium. I’m not sure which was more impressive: The set-up or the tennis. I was fortunate enough to watch the Bryan brothers trounce Switzerland’s Yves Allegro and Stanislas Wawrinka on my birthday (March 7, for those of you who don’t know).

In the interest of brevity, I’ve broken down my Davis Cup highlights into three easy-to-digest pieces: A Flickr slide show, a set of links and a funny story.
