I can't find the match to click on! Oh well, the half-alive LTA it will have to be. I would have paid the £4 for Eurosport but I don't have time to watch all the tie, so I'm too mean

Thanks - got it now!

GSM Baker 6-1 6-4 6-1

The Turk had a decent first serve, but Baker had the beating of him from the back of the court quite comfortably, with Zorlu standing so far back Baker was able to take the ball early and come to the net on numerous occasions and was simply the more aggressive and better player.

On this viewing there is no way Ward would lose to Zorlu unless he became injured, so as long as Flemski keep their nerve we will win the tie, and maybe Ward or Baker could upset Ilhan which would would take away a nervy final rubber.

Thanks for the links, guys. Am in France and can't get British Europsort so having to rely in livescores and LTA blog.

Well done to Jamie for an excellent start.

Can anyone watching give any information about Leon Smith's captaincy? He obviously didn't need to give too much input this match but does he look enthusiastic and interested? Next match will be more of a test.

Its for Ward, the WC. News to me but good to hear!
