M. Russell / J. Blake....help!!!

Would think if you're not sure, you should pass. I think Russell's speed and court coverage will beat him in the end. Would not be shocked to see either win though, but I think Russell has played well lately.

Dont bet on james"stiff" Blake..

this is blake's retirement tour with the U.S giving him a wild card to any U.S tournament he wants to play in as a thank you for what he gave them representing the country for many years as a top player and in the davis cup + olympics. He is a mediocre player right now and loses to anyone with any sort of form

i'd rather back russel. He has been playing much better than Blake and doesn't beat himself....Blake on the other hand regularly beats himself.

I took that for what I wanted it to mean.

I thought someone would take it the wrong way.

Thankfully Blake managed to beat Russell...i'd like to see him win a few matches before he retires...not nice losing every match of your farwell tour.
