The European team is just stacked with awesome players while the rest of the world team is just a bit meh. I mean yeah there are big hitters but the whole tournament seems a bit pointless no? Europe are clearly gonna win.

Don't think we'll watch Fedal in doubles, with Nadal already playing in one today.
Yeah like I said would have been more interesrimv in the 90s even though America probably would have dominated.
Just amazing how shocking a player Berdych is. Nadal's having to play Sock, Nick and Tomas in this match and it's not easy.
Yeah Berdych is really poor.
1 set all and Nadal and Sock playing some great tennis.
You'd think two big servers like Berdych and Nick would actually learn how to volley a bit considering they should be able to S&V with the serves they have and yet they're both so amateurish at the net.

He's been woeful really. His footwork, his reading of opponents serve, his volleying all so bad. Should have put Fed with Nadal for this match.
That point, Berdych running in to no mans land 
And then a double fault. Good lord
What channel is this on (in the UK)?
Sky Sports Mix. Although should also be on the history channel as Berdych looks well past it.
Jack Sock celebrating winning his 20th Grand Slam there
The two knob heads win.
Cheers, depending on the schedule may try watch some tomorrow.
Good effort from Rafa against the big serving trio of Sock, Berdych and Nick.
I really think Berdych is only here because its in Prague. Can see no other reason for his participation. Absolute joke of a performance from him.
I really think Borg should have played Fedal today, then single for each in the last day, or the other way around...but what do I know.
YES!!
But how are they gonna play all that in the same day? even if it's 1-2 sets per match. Play then rest for few hours then play again?!!

Europe playing Berdych to keep the tie relatively tight.
Easy win for Federer. Nadal - Sock next.
A few years back would have been one sided in the other direction. I'd like to see a tournament where Nadal, Murray, Federer and Djoko are paired up and have to lead a side, face each other in doubles but the Europe v World concept is more logical in the long run. But if all fit, all would be on the same side for Europe so would be even more one sided next year.
Nadal eventually managed to get the win after a major second set wobble. This team world is a bit too intense/immature.
Nick Kyrgios swearing during a non important family tournament. Class A Knobhead.
The world team is in some sort of competition within themselves over who can look the most stupid on the sidelines. Sock is currently way out in front. In fairness to Querrey he looks a bit embarrassed by the whole thing.
Berdych is literally just there to keep the competition alive.

Fedal wins!
Phew!! they almost gave me a heart attack in the second set. But what a brilliant third-tie-breaker-set thing, racing to 8-1 with one winner after another.
The second set was awful but the experience counted in the third. Great fun watching them and that Federer serve isn't that annoying when he's on your side.
Thiem should have been given more matches..def. more than Berdych at least!!
Agreed, but it's his home country and I guess at least Berdych losing has made things a bit closer.
Sky Sport not showing it today?
Isner beats Nadal 
Comes down to the final match, 12 - 9.
If Federer wins it, Europe win. If Kyrgios wins it, goes to 12-12 and a decider - one set doubles match.

Not sure why Nadal was given another match today. He's already played 3 in 2 days after having a long US tour as well.
A part of me was glad he lost against Isner. Not that bothered who wins this and Kyrgios vs Federer is a good match up. Best match of the year was between those two in Miami for me.
Kyrgios is really an outrageously talented player. If he's sort his head out, can be a multiple slam winner.
Surely I can't have been the only one that thought they were going to start giggling when they were talking to eachother at the start of this clip?
