Davis Cup - 2016

I didn't realise Evans (#53) and Edmund (#55) had climbed so high in the rankings.

Croatia beat France in the other semi-final.

GB will play the final at home if they get through.

(And the final will be in Croatia if Argentina make it through.)

Showing our football stars what desire and commitment looks like and is needed in order to succeed.

Evans vs Mayer confirmed.

Does Annabelle Croft cut and style her own hair?

bolloxbolder

Definitely does her bush I am told.

Go on Dan Evans!

1930 / 2013 the last times we were 2-0 down and won 3-2 in a Davis Cup match according to the BBC.

Last time it happened they said we beat Russia with Dan Evans winning the fifth rubber

Evans takes 1st set 6-4

Was that speaker of the house......what's his name?

If it wasn't for the history between these two countries I'd think this tie is rigged. Why did del Potro play the doubles and not the second singles?

I believe that Bercow is a qualified LTA coach

Bloody hate this Argie and any tennis player who just aces on every serve!!

Can't remember the last time I watched a top class tennis match where neither player uses a double-handed backhand.

Not looking good right now...

As Paul Simon sung:

Slip sliding away

LenGlover

All over.

We're out.

Mayer really played well today, Evans was well beaten ultimately

1-1 between Croatia and Argentina, after Cilic wins in 5 sets and Del Potro wins in 4

While it would have been great to see GB in the final again, there's no way Andy Murray would have been able to win all these tournaments this autumn and in the O2, AND play in the Davis Cup.

Andy ending the year as Number 1 is far more beneficial for British Tennis.
