My Cup Has a Name and It Is Davis

Well after a weekend spent anxiously watching the US Davis Cup opening round match with Brazil, it is official. The Davis Cup is coming to Boise in April! We knew we had a shot at getting it if they won, but after the Bryans lost and then Isner lost in 5 sets, I was sweating bullets. Props to Sam Querrey for dropping the first set, but holding his composure and closing it out when we needed it. And what is the reward for all their hard work? Why a date with the world #1 and Serbia of course! I am so excited to be a part of bringing the Davis Cup here and to build the excitement for it. This truly is a milestone and historic opportunity for tennis in Idaho. On top of all that, I have so many new friends since the news came out! I imagine that this is the tennis equivalent of what it is like when you win the lottery or become a famous musician all of a sudden. Friends you never knew you had come out and I am waiting to hear from a supposed long lost sibling or something like that. All jokes aside, I urge everybody to get excited and help spread the word. Let's turn Boise into tennis central come April!
