 | Yesterday, the final of Davis Cup ened in US and US did not disappoint their supporters and defeated Russia 4 to 1 to claim the champions. It is the 32nd time that US has claimed the champions of Davis Cup. Unluckily, US hasn't seized the champions since 1995. This time, their dream came true and champions belong to them. During yesterday's games, Roddick did not appear at the tennis court. Instead of him, Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike played Men's singles. Actually, they are double players. Wow, glad to know these two tennis players.  |

| CANADAGUY, I will try. If I gave wrong names, please correct them. Those two guy who held the cup must be Bryan brothers (Bob and Mike). On the right is Roddick. Beside Roddick is a black guy. I did not remember his name. The 'older' guy is the coach (just make a guess)? |

The 'older' guy is the coach (just make a guess)?<< Very good Katrina! The black guy next to Roddick is James Blake. The older guy is the present Captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team, Patrick McEnroe. Patrick is the younger brother of John McEnroe. |

| Thanks, CANADAGUY. But I am not familiar with those three guys? Can you teach me more about Patrick McEnroe, John McEnroe and James Blake? Did they win some important prize in tennis? |

| >>Thanks, CANADAGUY. But I am not familiar with those three guys? Can you teach me more about Patrick McEnroe, John McEnroe and James Blake? Did they win some important prize in tennis?<< Sure. John McEnroe is the most famous of the three guys. He was one of the world's best men's tennis players in the early 1980's. He also played on many Davis Cup teams back then. He had, and still has a very explosive, fiery temper that got him in lots of trouble. His younger brother Patrick was a very successful doubles tennis player. They both became millionaires as a result of their tennis skills and endorsements. Today they both are TV commentators for big tennis matches. John also plays some matches on the Seniors Tennis Circuit. James Blake is a very talented and successful U.S. tennis player, though not in the same league as John McEnroe was. James too has become a millionaire through his tennis winnings. He is 27 years old now and probably still has a few more years of professional tennis before he calls it quits. |

| To be honest, I am not familiar with Patrick McEnroe and James Blake and even did not know they once were top tennis players in the world. I should make up tennis classes too. |
