As usual I'm not too keen about Davis Cup.
That simply because I don't get to watch the events LIVE on TV in my country.
Besides with Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer and Andy Roddick out of this team competition, it just gives me more reasons not to watch it on live stream.
If you can't watch it on TV in your country, you can always count on atdhe.net.
Anyway here are the matchups and photos (can't find Team Argentina, Team Israel and Team Czech Republic photos yet).
