Yhdysvallat näytti kyntensä Davis Cupissa, voittaen Chilestä huikeasti 3-0! Mikä on seuraava siirto?
Davis Cup -turnauksen avausottelu käynnistyi näyttävästi, kun Yhdysvaltojen joukkue päätti tehdä Chilelle hallaa urheilukentällä. Brandon Nakashima ja Reilly Opelka astuivat kentälle kuin showtanssijat, ja heidän jännittävät ottelunsa tempaisivat katsojat mukaansa. Nakashima ja Opelka voittivat omat singles-ottelunsa, ja näin ollen Yhdysvalloille siunaantui jo 2-0 johtoasema ennen kuin joukkuetoverit Austin Krajicek ja Rajeev Ram astuivat kentälle parin joukkuepelissä.
Voitto olikin heti varmasti kädessä, ja USA:n joukkue vei Chileltä onnistuneen mahdollisuuden taistella jatkopaikasta. Etukäteen oli pelätty, että Yhdysvaltojen vahva ydin joukkueesta olisi aiempien loukkaantumisten myötä heikentynyt, mutta vain yksi syy vielä riitti: joukkuehenki. Ennen ovatko alkuaineet kuin kenkärasiassa, tämä ei ollut ongelma. Kaikkia näyttövoittoa varten, USA taluttaa edelleen tennismaailman kenttiä.
Reilly Opelka ja Brandon Nakashima olivat kuin Rocky-elokuvasta ja esittivät todellista taisteluhenkeä, kun palkintopokaalit kirkuivat voiton ilosanomaa. Nakashima pystyi voittamaan Alejandro Tabilon jännittävässä tiebreakerissa 7-6 (5), ja Opelka muutti voittonsa joksikin vieläkin hienommaksi. Paripeli, jossa Krajicek ja Ram vetoivat hyvin yhteen, lopetti ottelun tyylillä, ja USA jyräsi tiensä 3-0 voittoon Chiliä vastaan.
Kun Yhdysvallat jatkaa Davis Cupissa, kaikki odottavat innolla ensi viikkoa. Miten vaisun tanssitason voi nostaa kridebis? Useat muut joukkueet, kuten Kanada, ovat myös valmiina ottamaan mittaa USA:n tähtipelaajista. Tällä kertaa pelit alkoivat hienosti, mutta nyt haaste odottaa. Kiinnostavana yksityiskohtana mainittakoon, että Davis Cupin historia juontaa juurensa vuoteen 1900, jolloin Yhdysvallat voitti ensimmäisen mestaruutensa. USA:n joukkue ei ole ollut yhtä vahva siitä lähtien, mutta nyt he näyttävät vievän voittoa yhdeksättä kertaa tämän voiton myötä! Taitavat pelaajat ja ainutlaatuinen yhteishenki vetävät yleisön mukaansa ja kuin tanssi muuttaa pelin.
"Voitimme tämä taistelu, mutta voitto ei olisi ollut mahdollista ilman tukea faneilta", opetti Nakashima tavaramerkkinä edustavalle voimalle, huutaen yhdessä koko joukkueen kanssa. Käy ilmi, että jokaisella urheilujoukkueella, ei vain tenniksessä vaan muissakin lajeissa, on lahjakkuutta ja tiimihenkeä voittamisen takana. Viime vuonna Davis Cupissa otetut kolmiot, joiden kärjessä olivat vahvat joukkueet, ovat antaneet pelille vain lisää vauhtia.
