What?! :scared: :bolt:

Sorry I scared you :p What is there not to love about Babsi? I used to be a big fan of her when she was a player.She and Anke are my all-time german favourites.Excuse my enthusiasm,but the Fed Cup is the only time of the year when I can see her or have news from her ;) as I don't understand german and I don't get anything of what is said about her on the german forum...

Go Germany :worship:
ALG and Malek :D

Good luck Germany! :bounce:
I hope Sabine will play a single match...and that she´ll be able to surprise us again! ;)
BTW I hope I can see some new pictures from ALG in better shape...:rolleyes:

I can understand that, but she has no clue how to lead a Fedcup team :p

She called German players (Schruff,Müller) average although she wasn't better herself.

Good luck Germany! :bounce:

I hope that too!! She has the game to do so! :bounce:

Go Tadde! :hearts: And the rest of the German girls :yeah:

good luck

Tadde & Sabine, you'll really need it...

I just hope they win at least one match-up, maybe in singles (would be the biggest surprise)


Müller better than Rittner ??? You must be joking, GSM-Schruff (http://www.wtaworld.com/member.php?u=42629) !!! :lol:
As much as I respect Martina's tournament vics...

:weirdo: Did I say so? Perhaps read properly... The only thing I mentioned is that Rttner was an average player herself.

Good luck Ashley!!

You call Babsi avarage - for me she deserved to be Fed Cup captain cause she was better than avarage (just look at her Grand Slams und compare the results to the players you refer to... ;) )

Go Malek :rocker2:

You call Babsi avarage - for me she deserved to be Fed Cup captain cause she was better than avarage (just look at her Grand Slams und compare the results to the players you refer to... ;) )

Still she's average in leading a team :).

can we focus on the livestream instead of discussing nonesense?

You call Babsi avarage - for me she deserved to be Fed Cup captain cause she was better than avarage (just look at her Grand Slams und compare the results to the players you refer to... ;) )

I call her averege, too... when you look at her game she was definitely not much better, maybe a little more consistent in her results.

And she really doesn't have that good Grand Slam results... in 13 years she was in 4th round twice...

ok, Steffi, Claudia & Anke havn't been around to do her job. And you really think another Hofsäss would have helped :confused: ?????? She has more experience than all our players from 1999 til now in sum. And her Grand Slam results in total are more than avarage to me (esp her consistency :p )
=========================================

livetream, pls post the link if you find one !?!?

Well Babsi has victories against top10 players as Mauresmo.I can't recall of the current german players doing the same.Sorry.

Anyway,best of luck to the german girls :kiss:

So what? You don't have to be a good (or even better) player to rate other players..

So what? You don't have to be a good (or even better) player to rate other players..

no, but it doesn't sound very competent ;)

So what? You don't have to be a good (or even better) player to rate other players..

No, but is this the behavior a FedCup coach should show us? She started to do this whole Muller/Schruff crap in public. Very classy... :o

There doesnt seem to be any

Show us a good match Sabine! ;)
Also good luck to Tadde!:bounce:
