Routine for Murray really and he never needed to get out of first or second gear and it seemed like he was trying to do as little as possible to get the job done.

Przysiezny didn't look like someone ranked 678 in the world but on the other hand, you could see how he is ranked that low as although he has some good shots, he has no real consistancy and probably has had a lot of days where it hasn't worked for him.

He put up a good effort against Murray but didn't show enough to suggest that he would beat Evans in a 5th rubber, as long as Evans plays a decent match.

i know he is down a break but i think Evo can win this. i doubt Jano can keep us this level of power serving for 3 sets and Evo has a more rounded game.

Not impressed with the Dan Evans effort at all so far.

Do we know the court speed, has it been mentioned?

From my point of view, it looks very quick and Evans is being blown away, bad selection from John Lloyd, he has picked Evans and Ward - 2 slow court players.

Chris Eaton should have definitely been picked after Goodalls drop out. Evans is trying to serve-volley and he cant volley, why not pick Eaton who probably has the best volleys in Britain? Eaton, when Goodall was pushed out should have been right in there.

Even though Eaton hasnt had the best of form recently, he proved himself at the last tie which should be enough to get him into this one.
Very dissapointed.

I'm not so sure it is bad selection, whatever happens. Lets be honest Eaton and Goodall will never be able to win ties against Russia, Spain etc. There is a small chance that Evans, Cox etc might. When they fail to prove themselves, then onto Bettles Golding etc. We have too much dead weight in British men's tennis right now!

We could really do with Evo sneaking a set here to give him some confidence if it comes down to the 5th rubber. I don't fancy his chances in a t/b though.

Evo's serve seems much weaker than I thought it would be - it's just not giving him a chance.

A much better serve at 2-5 and suddenly he's in control of a point for a change.

Suddenly it looks like we really need to win the doubles.
