Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic were too much to handle for James Blake and Mardy Fish.  One has to believe that had the injured Andy Roddick been there things would have been different.

The Brian Brothers came up with a doubles win to bring the US in winning range, but the two losses by James Blake left the US a deficit unable to be recovered from.

Overall it seemed as the atmosphere had some impact on the outcome.  This was an indoor clay tournament on the opponent’s home turf and it did not suit the Americans well at all. 

Oh well, there’s always next year!
