Face Of The Day (Updated)

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Czech Republic preparing for Davis Cup this weekend.

UPDATE: Lan, who comments in the Live Chatterbox, translated this play on Czech words for us. The script reads: Caution: Uneven Surface (i.e., Watch Your Step), but it can also read: Be Careful! Superficial Inequality (i.e., Watch Out! One-sided Match). Take your pick.

I tend to believe the Czech Republic v. France tie could end up being the most competitive, going down to the wire. Indoor carpet is Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek's best surface, but it also enhances Tsonga's attacking game and could make Gilles Simon's hard flat shots hard to track down.s
