Tsjechie : Berdych, Kvitova
Frankrijk : Gasquet, Bartoli
Spanje : Verdasco, Medina Garrigues
USA : Fish, Mattek Sands
Australie : Hewitt, Gajdosova
Denemarken : Nielsen, Wozniacki
China : Na Li, Di Wu
Bulgarije : Dimitrov, Pironkova
Tsjechie en USA zijn in mijn ogen de favorieten
Fish-Berdych is 50-50, Kvitova nid maar dubbel USA is beter denk ik. Mattek een van de betere dubbelspeelsters
Heb jij die volleys van kvitova nog nooit gezien?
Komt nog meer bij kijken he dan volleys
Service?
Die heeft Kvitova natuurlijk ook.
Frankrijk 2-1 gewonnen van China : Gasquet-Wu 6-1 6-3 Li-Bartoli 2-6 6-2 6-4 dubbel 6-1 6-1
Dimitrov favoriet bij de bookies tegen Fish. Toch ook wel opvallend.
Staat idd verrassend 6-2 1-0 (break) voor.
Fish heeft volgens mij 1x zijn servicegame gehouden
Tennis-Hopman referee steps in to part angry Fish and Dimitrov
American Mardy Fish and Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov had to be separated by the match referee when they squared up to each other during a changeover in a bad-tempered Hopman Cup encounter on Friday.
The pair traded insults throughout their singles match and the mixed doubles before the tie between the two bottom teams in Group A ended with a 2-1 win for Bulgaria over the defending champions.
Dimitrov, in a hurry to get through the tie as he had to catch a late-evening plane to Sydney, thrashed world number eight Fish 6-2 6-1 in the singles before helping Tsvetana Pironkova to beat the American and team mate Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the mixed doubles.
Fish, who also lost in straight sets to Czech Tomas Berdych on Wednesday, directed angry words at Dimitrov while the pair were shaking hands after the singles at Burswood Dome.
During the doubles, Fish appeared to hit a ball straight at the Bulgarian and then approached him as he sat in a chair during a change of ends.
Dimitrov jumped to his feet and the two men argued fiercely before the match referee rushed on to the court and stood between them. It was nearly a minute before order was restored.
"What can I say? It was one of these days when every touch goes in," said Dimitrov, the world number 76 and a former junior champion at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
"Mardy was not on top of his game, but I think we had great rallies and gave a bit of entertainment as well. It's nice to have a win like this under my belt. I'm playing against a top-10 player and I've beaten him. Whatever I touched, it went in."
