Roddick is up 3-0 (break) in Davis Cup vs Austria on what looks like mud of a tennis court on TV. There are a scattering of fans at the venue in Austria. A lot of empty seats and very little crowd support by international sporting standards. There is so little applause it really kills the mood and excitement, especially after the last sporting buzz from Super Bowl 42. I am not sure if it is applause or an occasional spring shower.

So what does announcer Barry McKay exclaim: "This is a tough environment to win in with this crowd support". Nothing like broadcasting from Santa Monica is there?
