Rusedski to play DC again (?)
Permalink  

Someone on the Rusedski board has heard talk on the BBC today of Greg being drafted back into the DC team by a desperate John Lloyd:

Even as a Rusedski fan, I find this incredibly hard to believe - it would be so short-termist as to be beyond crazy.

Story in the Times http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/tennis/article4842557.ece

Seems to be a David Lloyd idea that he hasn't even mentioned to his brother.

it certianly is a short term fix, and in stark constrast to JL's mutterings at the end of the Austria tie about going with new, young blood.

how match fit is greg? i have no idea to be honest. the times suggests he would be used to play a decisive 5th rubber vs a top 100 player. a 5 set match? thats a big ask.

i know Greg loves DC, but this isnt the way forward.

I agree it is not the way forward but can't Greg join the squad as mentor and hitting partner? The man obviously has a lot to offer, it'd be a shame to not make the best use of his willingness to serve the cause.

should greg be involved as a mentor at this stage? maybe he is better wokring with the juniors and building up his captining abilities.

i see Greg as a future DC captin so if he is there under Lloyd it may be harder for him to step in when lloyd leaves (or is sacked after we lose to ukraine!)

More about this today - I've posted it on the DC thread at http://britishtennis.activeboard.com/index.spark?forumID=61841&p=3&topicID=21001639&commentPage=1, which is probably the best place for further discussion about this, if any.

Strange, I copied and pasted the exact URL I got when I opened the page in a new window! However, if Madeline's version works, let's not worry.

Not surprising, I did that by the same method. It's only recently that the http://www.activeboard.com part of the addresses on the forum have been getting replaced by http://britishtennis.activeboard.com, I think - I'd have thought using either version in the links would work, but clearly the second version doesn't.
