[Aussiefan]

Belgium vs USA It will be interesting to see if Kim rejoins the team next year, i would guess so since it will be hr final year on tour…

[Kirilenkofan]

I'm curious to see how China will do, they're not that strong in singles, I'm surprised they even made it to the world group...

[Terrell]

I can't imagine China posing that much of a threat to Italy, sure they can win doubles... but Italy is pretty solid in singles...

What do you think? ;)

My announcement: I respect the lost for every player, but this is the one of disciplinary in every team.

[Aussiefan]

that is awesome, did you write all of that by yourself? awesome post, thanks so much

[Aussiefan]

where did you get all of those infos?

[PierceCheng]

No, I just post my post for the feeling of the public. I think Accountability System (http://www.cab.gov.hk/cgi-bin/cab/en_legco_brief.cgi?mode=update&uid=21) should be added in tennis.

where did you get all of those infos?

The webpage of players in Sony Ericsson WTA Tour (http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/players).

[PierreC]

not sure what you mean PierceCheng, what exactly would that bring to tennis?

[Terrell]

I am so lost, what is an accountability system?

[PierceCheng]

I am so lost, what is an accountability system?

This means are when someone make the most serious mistakes, they must resign their position in the Hong Kong Government.

Also, this system can be use in sports (e.g. when someone make the most serious mistakes, they must leave their team to response their fault; their team leader can use another one to replace).
