Enjoying watching this whilst following match thread - Brits playing together for first time have come back from two sets down v the Bryan brothers, the best ever doubles pair. Should be some fifth set!

    Went the distance and some but the Americans pulled through in the deciding set.

    They could've won the tie 3-0 but GB do still lead 2-1 with two singles matches to play tomorrow.

    Murray vs Isner and Ward vs Young are tomorrow's match ups I believe.

    Jacko's mate James Ward did amazingly well to beat Isner yesterday in five sets..

    Isner is ranked around 20 in the world and Ward is a hundred and something.

    Up to Andy Murray to finish it.

    Like Weegie watching Cl thread, Final score and Son's phone twitter etc,
    and narrow 9-7 defeat to the bryan twins in 5th, cig paper between the pairs.
    2-1 to GB with reverse singles to come.

    Yesterday Saw James Ward ( Johnny Jackson's mate) win a fantastic 5th set against the world's number 20 John Isner, the 6ft 10" Yank. This after being 2 sets down.

    James Ward is not rated in the top 100 , But when he plays for GB you would think he was a top 30 player.

    Great entertainment - they just ran out of steam at the end. Let's hope Andy can see off Isner tomorrow.

    It's great that we're not a One man team now, with other players who can represent us without being out of their depth!

    Winner of the tie faces France in the next round.

    Murray beat Isner in straight sets means GB win 3-1 and are through to the quarter final stage.

    Home tie against France in the next round. Apparently due to be played in July.

    Murray over powered Isner. Murray got very angry with himself in the third set like he does. A bit too many over the top shots of Union Jack waving crowd. Q-F against the French. Not sure whether Ward played the final game.

    Union Jacks. In Scotland? What would Salmond think!

    If I was a Scottish Nationalist, it would have got up my nose.
