Florian Mayer found out the tough way that Lee plays well in the Davis Cup. Germany is in a 1-1 tie with Korea at the moment. Kohlschreiber defeated 6-2 6-2 6-2 Jae-Sung An in a math that was pretty much forward while Mayer lost a 7-5 6-3 1-6 6-7(7) 6-3 thriller against Lee.
Lee is ranked 24 places better than the German, but the Korean played only one match in the last 2 years on clay. That is why this can be considered as a surprise. Even tough the match is tied, it's the Koreans that find themselves in a tough spot : Lee is exhausted. He will decide tomorrow morning if he will play in the doubles. If he doesn't, Germany has a huge chance of winning. And I don't think Jae-Sung An can win his second singles match. Korea's only chance is to get Lee fit, win the doubles and then it's up to Lee to win the third point. Not very likely.
