by The Social Diary Columnist &
Photographer Margo Schwab
Tennis action for
the Davis Cup "Tie" between Romania and the USA is building
rapidly for Friday's start. The location, the beautiful La
Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Described aptly by USA
Team members as "paradise."
Seen practicing
strongly have been the Romanians, Victor Hanescu, Andrei Pavel,
Razvan Sabau, Horia-Vlad Tecau, and Team Captain Florin Segarceanu.
The USA team is likewise in strong form. The USA team has members
are James Blake, Andy Roddick, and the Bryan Brothers
with Team Captain Patrick McEnroe.
Meanwhile,
the USA Team press conference went on with some fun verbal patter.
James Blake described his new shaved head as easy maintenance
so he could concentrate on tennis. All members went quiet after
a non-tennis question regarding female attention. All remarked
positively about the previous night's event at the Hard Rock Cafe
in La Jolla.
