From London to Rio to Santiago for Davis Cup

Peter, Eileen and Holly Barnes-Wallis are part of a group called the Netheads – these tennis fans cheer on the United States Davis Cup team. They will be blogging about their experiences during the USA-Chile Davis Cup tie this weekend in Santiago.

SANTIAGO – March 2, 2011 – We’re Netheads and we’re Brits –so, for us, it’s a long way to go to Chile for just for three days tennis.  So our trip to see the USA play Chile in the Davis Cup has been turned into a small tour of South America!

We started in Rio de Janeiro.  Its landmarks are truly spectacular and the weather was great.

We’re now in Santiago and our first impressions (apart from lengthy delays at the airport) are very positive.  Clear, blue skies, magnificent buildings, and all against a backdrop of the Andes Mountains.  And on top of that, we’re going to see tennis!

We’re meeting up with the other Netheads Thursday Night (I think 13 have made the trip) and Friday we’ll see Andy Roddick’s return to Davis Cup tennis, when he opens the US account with his match against Nicolas Massu.  On paper Roddick must win – but this will not be played on paper – but on clay!  Still, our money is on Roddick. Much more in our Friday entry when the matches begin.

Peter, Eileen and  Holly Barnes-Wallis  joined the Netheads in 2006, after meeting them accidentally at the Davis Cup semi final in Moscow and have attended most US Davis Cup ties since then.
