Tennis!

First order of duty when our friends arrived was to get them out to the Davis Cup for some world class pro tennis! Yes yes, you may not know this, but Argentina has several players in the top 50 rankings worldwide and they dispatched Great Britain with ease 4-1 on their home turf in the first round of the Davis Cup (www.daviscup.com). Grudge match for sure (remember the Falklands?) ... and the Argentines were pleased to crush the Brits on their home clay court. Ever been to a pro tennis match? Us neither and let me tell you that it's a good time! We got to see Argentina's top player ... David Nalbandian, ranked #9 in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Nalbandian)

Poor Jamie Baker (UK) didn't stand a chance against Nalbandian in the first round, but he rallied to upset Agustin Calleri to provide the UK's only victory. That's the spirit, son!

The Davis Cup is an elimination tournament where teams from various countries square off against each other. At the same time, the reigning champion US team housed Austria 4-1 in Vienna.
