They invite you to their house to play a game, and this is how you repay their hospitality?
Romania d. Australia, 2-1
Sam/Sorana was a little confusing. Sam played well for about a set and a third, and Sorana played well for about a set and a half. When Sorana's playing well and reading her opponent's game correctly, she's really exciting to watch. But, personally, it seems a little early to be guessing at great things in Sorana Cirstea's future because she played a good match. Girlfriend's played good matches before. First round at Hopman Cup does not a career make. That said, watching her when she's on is a lot of fun. Also, she is purty.
I actually didn't see any of the rest of the tie, somewhat because I can't be bothered to watch Lleyton Hewitt do much of anything. But apparently the Hewitt/Hanescu match was pretty good. I've always thought Hanescu had the potential to be an interesting player, and of course Hewitt's track record speaks for itself (although he's not the same player since all the injuries). But it's nice to see a couple of more creative players play really well against each other. You know, theoretically.
