Now that the US Open is finished, all tennis eyes will focus on the upcoming Davis Cup matches. The Davis Cup is to men's professional tennis what the Ryder Cup is to golf. The only exception being that the Davis Cup goes on all year long.
Blake is physically and mentally exhausted from the summer. He played a full schedule (including participating at the Indianapolis Tennis Championships), the Olympics and the US Open. Blake's replacement is Sam Querrey, another Indy Tennis favorite.
Querrey has practiced with the US Davis Cup team and has had a strong showing on clay. He was a quarterfinalists in Monte Carlo (clay) and reached the round of 16 at the US Open. The American's will face a strong team from Spain on outdoor clay September 16-21 in Madrid.
