-- Soon after making my clever comments on US-Ecuador Davis Cup match I realized that all the soccer commentary made me confuse Ecuador with - probably with Paraguay; as a result I came up with pretty idiotic predictions. I can also blame it on an intense cold and congested nose which made me dense. And stuff... Anyway, besides Gomes they have couple of people in top 300 named Viver and Ycaza. I have not heard of them before. US still should win 3-2 without much trouble. If that comes true, they'll have Germans again. Where is that going to be played? -- Mike Cherepov

Jaime Yzaga is technically an amateur/junior and is Very good... gave Lendl more trouble than anybody else in the last US Open (in my opinion :--)!). Hope you get over your cold. jsl Aren't y'all tennis lovers just itching for the weather to get warmer?! *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I think it would be great to play the match on grass (where the German #2 (whomever they choose) would be totally neutralized). If McEnroe and Mayotte play, I think we would have a good chance to win 5-0. Realistically, they will probably play it indoors somewhere in the northeast. If they do that, then Gilbert would be an excellent choice for the team. I don't think that the West Germans are going to be able to suprise us this year. I hope that McEnroe will decide to play, and that Mayotte will be healthy again. I think that we will win 4-1 if McEnroe decides to play, and 3-2 if he doesn't. Does anybody know who comes next (that is IF we win vs. Ecuador and IF we win vs. West Germany)? -- """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Allan McKillop ...{ucbvax,lll-crg}!ucdavis!deneb!cccallan (UUCP) ...ucdavis!deneb!cccallan@ucbvax.berkeley.edu (ARPA)

Nope. I think Yzaga is an Argentinian. I read a short perspective in Tennis and for a few seconds thought they meant Yzaga, however that fellow Ycaza, whoever he may be, has a different first name. Which is good news for Gorman and company. -- Mike Cherepov
