Love or loathe them, Bernard Tomic believes he and Nick Kyrgios can help Australia break its longest Davis Cup title drought in almost a century. Ben Gedeon Jersey.Its been 13 years since Australia last raised the most prized trophy in team tennis but Tomic and Kyrgios are hoping to revive the glory days after being reunited in Davis Cup for the first time since 2013.Two of the most polarising figures in Australian sport, Tomic and Kyrgios havent teamed up since Kyrgioss Davis Cup debut as an 18-year-old rookie in Warsaw.Injuries, illnesses and suspensions have conspired against Australia but at last captain Lleyton Hewitt will have the countrys top two players on deck for this weeks World Group playoff against the Slovak Republic.For Tomic, its been so long since he played with Kyrgios hes forgotten and hes excited about what the new era may bring.We havent played together in a Davis Cup together yet. Its a new week and were excited, he said.Im sure everyone else is. Its something that has many more years to come. The last few days has been a good experience. Im really excited to be a part of it from Friday with Nick.I experienced something last year. We were in the semi-finals against the UK and we had a chance there.We were a few points away there with the doubles and maybe could have been in the final of the Davis Cup to play Belgium and maybe could have won that Davis Cup last year.So it just shows how close we are. I would love nothing more one day than to be a Davis Cup champion with these guys and its all going to take a big team - not just myself.Its a challenge Im ready to go through and hopefully one day we can win that trophy.Victory over a depleted Slovakian outfit led by world No.123 Jozef Kovalik would present Australia with the chance to win the Davis Cup in 2017.Australia last won the Cup in 2003 and 14 years between drinks - if they won in 2017 - would be the longest wait for the 28-times champion-winning nation since before World War II.Pat Elflein Vikings Jersey . Self was acquired from the Buffalo Bandits in a trade for Alex Hill midway through last season, and made his debut in Rochester on March 16, 2013. Jaleel Johnson Youth Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. http://www.vikingsteamofficial.com/dalvin-cook-jersey/ . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Sri Lanka barely broke a sweat while easing past Zimbabwe in the Tri-Series opener, but West Indies pace and bounce proved a rather more testing assignment in their second match, with Sri Lanka bowled out for 165 in pursuit of West Indies 227. Nuwan Kulasekara said that the Sri Lankans will have to adjust as quickly as possible to the varying attacks if they are to bounce back when the series moves to Bulawayo.Zimbabwe, they have talent, but they tend to bowl 120 to 130 kph, Kulasekara said. West Indies bowlers have height that gives them bounce, and [Shannon] Gabriel always bowls 140 plus. [Jason] Holder bowled really nicely today too, getting that outswing. You just have to adjust as soon as possible. Thats the main thing. We have to improve for the next few matches in the batting department, because they have height and get bounce on these wickets.Kulasekara is returning to international duty with Sri Lanka after 10 months on the sidelines, and his own returns from his first two matches have been decent. Displaying good control with the new ball, he picked up two wickets against West Indies to go with his two in the first match against Zimbabwe, and also removed Kraigg Brathwaite and Holder with direct hits in the field.Ive been doing even more fielding practicces with my fielding coach, and I always try my best, Kulasekara said. Ben Gedeon Youth Jersey. My last game was against New Zealand in January. Its nice to come back to the side. Ive been very happy with my performances in the last two games.With the experience of 175 ODIs to draw from, Kulasekara has slotted back into this Sri Lankan touring squad as a senior. This is also his fourth tour of Zimbabwe, and he has been very willing to share his knowledge of conditions in the country with the less experienced members of his team.As seniors, we always discuss [game plans] with the younger players. I played two matches in Bulawayo in 2010, the wickets there are much flatter than Harare. Slow and low bounce. You have to adjust as a batsman, and well have to bowl different lengths in Bulawayo. Well make our plans in the next few days for that.At 34, Kulasekara is also philosophical about his own place in the side. Yeah, theres always pressure that comes with playing for the national team. So youngsters come in, and they put pressure on the senior players. Senior players go into retirement, and youngsters come and grab their places. Thats the way it goes. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
