Jonas Bjorkman stated that he might not play in the singles of the 1998 Davis Cup final if the Italians choose a clay surface. The finals is set to be played in Italy. Bjorkman's clay court game is his weakest and may just end up playing in doubles competition. The 3 Magnuses (Norman, Gustafsson and Larsson) are Sweden's strongest players in clay. Whoever plays, let's give all our support to the mighty Vikings!!!

It's Sweden vs. Spain in the Davis Cup semifinals. The game is to be played in Stockholm in an indoor court with a carpeted surface. This would definitely be in the favor of the Swedes but let's not get to confident as the Spaniards is proving to be getting better in playing in other surfaces as Carlos Moya has proven by reaching the semifinals of the 1998 US Open and Alex Corretja who reached the 4th round of the same tournament. Go Swedes!!!

The US Open has just ended and as we all know, 3 Swedes went into the quarterfinals but all of them were knocked out at the same time. Jonas Bjorkman (he felt cold that time) was defeated by fellow doubles partner and eventual champion, Pat Rafter; Thomas Johansson (his ranking went to 21) eventually lost to finalist Mark Philippoussis in a five-set thriller and Magnus Larsson was defeated by Carlos Moya (in my opinion, his play was affected by the windy conditions). The other Swedes who played in the open were Mikael Tillstrom (lost to Sampras in the 2nd round), Magnus Gustafsson (lost in the 1st round) and Magnus Norman (lost in the 2nd or 3rd round, couldn't remember). Thomas Enqvist didn't play due to an ankle injury.
