[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 2211909, member: 7831"] The Mexican Tennis Federation announced a couple of days ago that they had selected a new Captain for the Mexican Davis Cup team and it is none other than TCU Coach David Roditi! They've had some high level executive changes and the new guys all knew Roditi really well, and they also conducted a vote of the 8 top Mexican pros, and a majority selected Roditii as their preferred choice. This will be a part-time position and is only applicable to the match scheduled in Lima in July against Peru, but afterwards, they will sit down with Roditi and see if it can work long-term. Roditi made it clear that TCU is his first priority. This is (apparently) the first time ever that a college coach has been selected as the head of a Davis Cup team. Roditi played for the Mexican National team in the 1990's, but since 1997, Mexico has been relegated to the lowest level in Davis Cup and hasn't produced a Top 300 pro player in two decades. Obviously, they are thinking that Roditi might begin to change that. Roditi's U.S. counterpart is Jim Courier, who recently took over after the long-time tenure of Patrick McEnroe. This is yet another indication of how highly regarded Roditi is around the country and the world. While playing on the Mexican National Team, he played Davis Cup at a match in Peru and he "remembers it well" because it was highly contested and the crowd was crazy and threw some bottles and coins when there was controversy. The contacts and experience gained from captaining a Davis Cup team are incalculable. Commenters at collegetennistoday are saying that Davis Cup is "perfect" for Roditi and he has said that Davis Cup is like the "Roditi rule" times a thousand. Others have said that TCU would "kill" the Mexican Davis Cup team and that Roditi is "taking a step down" in competitive level. I'm not so sure but it is quite likely that TCU will start next season very highly ranked, as the recent ITA Kickoff Draft revealed (we'll host Utah State, Wichita State and Pacific next January). In an event, Felicidades a David Roditi y en Julio, a Peru, Viva Mexico! Vamanos! [/QUOTE]
