Well done guys, great entertainment, much more exciting than watching the rugby.0

A great match with some lovely tennis. Nerve shredding though1
-
More entertaining than watching our progress on final score. Well done to the Murrays!1

A big ask to expect Murray to beat Tomic tomorrow (the world's no 23) after 5 sets today and 3 on Friday when Tomic has had a day's rest.
Murray is a very fit lad so one hopes be can but this tie is not over yet by any means.1 -
It might still come down to Dan Evans, the guy who wasn't even in the team...LenGlover said:A big ask to expect Murray to beat Tomic tomorrow (the world's no 23) after 5 sets today and 3 on Friday when Tomic has had a day's rest.

Andy Murray against Tomic tomorrow is 50/50 at best.
Not having a rest day after a 4 hour match when your playing a player rated as high as 23 will be a tough ask.
The Glasgow crowd will need to carry him through.
If not Dan the Man against the young Australian who is rated 200 + places above him. 60/40 in the Aussie's favour.
Game on.0 -
Can someone explain to me why Evans is playing ahead of Ward?0

Ward is horribly out of form. Think it's something like 15 matches in a row he's lost.Weegie Addick said:Can someone explain to me why Evans is playing ahead of Ward?
It's a shame that ITF rejected Aljaz Bedene's application to represent Britain in the Davis Cup.0 -
Leon Smith might be able to.Weegie Addick said:Can someone explain to me why Evans is playing ahead of Ward?
To be serious Ward has done virtually nothing since Wimbledon whereas Evans, after a lay off, has been winning albeit at a lower level. He had also beaten Tomic previously.
Not saying I agree with the thinking as Ward has a track record of raising his game for Davis Cup matches.

Big respect to Muzza!
GB in the Davis Cup final for the first time since 1978.
11 sets in 3 days takes some doing. The Aussies were and are no mugs.

A great achievement!1

Great stuff GB. :-)
The other semi final has gone all the way to the fifth rubber. If Argentina win, GB have a choice of home venue. If Belgium win, we travel to Belgium for the final.0 -
I thought Mo Farrar was the out & out favourite for this year's BBC Sports Personality until today......
Respect, Andy Murray.0 -
well done to andy murray and gb tennis, fabulous achievement0

And now the chance to work out all our angst against Belgium!0

Belgium win the other semi final. The final will be played in Belgium.0

Just home from a fantastic weekend of tennis in Glasgow! Amazing atmosphere and tennis! Had to miss today's match as messed up our dates for going on holiday so had to come back early!
Shame the final is in Belgium as could be on clay to neutralise Murray, they reckon. Come on November!

Bloody Belgians again!sm said:And now the chance to work out all our angst against Belgium!
Murray is reasonable on Clay, looking at their semi, Goffin played the singles but not the doubles (which they lost)
Assuming the 2 number ones win the opening matches, the key matches will be the doubles and Murray against Goffin. Can Andy play 3 days running on clay, and without home crowd support?0 -
Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot for the doubles is an option.

Hmmm. Belgium have only been in the final once before. That was in 1904. They lost 5-0. To Britain.2

Draw for the Davis Cup has been made starting tomorrow
First up tomorrow its Kyle Edmund playing in his first ever Davis Cup match (only the sixth debutante at a Final) he'll be playing David Goffin before Andy Murray plays Ruben Bemelmans later in the day.
on Saturday it'll be Andy and Jamie against Kimmer Coppejans / Steve Darcis
Then first on Sunday it'll be Andy Murray v David Goffin which'll hopefully make it 3-1 to GB prior to Kyle Edmund playing against Ruben Bemelmans.
C'mon Britain!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/349337892 -
If it goes to the final match then James ward will play instead of Kyle Edmund.0
-
Feel a bit sorry for Dom Inglot, in any other era he'd be playing in the doubles.0

Great insight to the last time we were in the final. I remember Buster Motram well, he was an excellent player. I wonder how he would be treated today?

Have a feeling the doubles will be effectively the decider.0
-
Edmunds is just twenty and moving up rankings. Seems to be a better clay court player than ward. However hasn't played Davis cup before and probably not experienced enough for a decider. Both will probably be out of their depth and if they play one match each they can focus and treat it as their fa cup final.se9addick said:
I've never even heard of Kyle Edmund, any good ? Why isn't James Ward playing to start with ?johnny73 said:If it goes to the final match then James ward will play instead of Kyle Edmund.

Good luck to them all. Fair play to Murray who i guess could have had more lucrative options. Not that he is short of a few bob.
