Davis Cup finals

Is anyone else watching this? The doubles is pretty tense at the moment although GB are leading 1-0 in sets.

Kyle Edmund was perhaps a little bit unfortunate yesterday or maybe it was just a lack of experience showing but I really thought/hoped that from 2-0 up he'd go on to win that first game.

//edit argh one set all, we could really do with Jamie Murray playing as well as he can to win this as right now he doesn't seem to be hitting top form.

Andy's a class above but Jamie's really struggling with his serve, in fact it's woefully poor.

Edit: Loving the camera men in this match, proper perverts

Jamie did step it up a bit in the final set I think and Darcis seemed to just tighten up and couldn't buy a return for several games in a row but however it worked GB are now 2-1 up in the tie with the reverse singles still to play tomorrow. If Andy can repeat his recent performance over Goffin I'll be very happy indeed.

Glad they got through it. Andy Murray was very solid throughout and covered Jamie very well when he was struggling.

I was at both Davis Cup matches in Glasgow this year (GB Vs USA & GB Vs AUS). The atmosphere is something else, I'd recommend going to a tie if you get the chance.

Seems to be loads of muppets in the crowd purposely putting Murray off when he's serving.

Some of that crowd going nuts.

What a shot to win the set

Cosimo · 29 Nov 2015 at 14:11

One more set for the cup!

Andy's pulled off some stonking cross court winners in this.

What a point to win the Davis Cup!

Cosimo · 29 Nov 2015 at 15:02

Amazing!

Tennis world champions, bitches!

great way to win

I didn't manage to watch the final match on TV but what a magnificent achievement and although it'll be Andy that gets almost all the plaudits the rest of the team has all played a part at vital points.

Valo · 29 Nov 2015 at 21:34

It was a great match and a great point by Andy Murray to win it.

Very well deserved...the whole team played their parts. James Ward's brilliant win over John Isner being a particularly brilliant moment.

Britain have just been knocked out of the Davis Cup in brutal fashion.

Murray may have dealt with Mayer's serve easier than Evans did but he was smashing down aces on his second serve FFS.

I had hoped that Del Potro not taking part in the last match meant that Britain had a better chance and maybe it did but Mayer played very well. Bit of a gamble by Argentina not to play Del Potro but it paid off.
