Kyle's serving and forehand penetration was very impressive. That's all 3 under 16 trophies this year: Winter Cup (Jonny O'Mara/Chris Pearce/Billy Harris); Borotra Cup and Junior Davis Cup. Great stuff
Great stuff 25 goes before they got to the Final for the first time (it started in 1985), then two years later they win it.
The way Kyle had been playing that match, I'd have been shocked had he NOT served it out easily - and that's not something you can often say about the Brits. They seem to have been extremely professional throughout, lots of credit to them and the Ruser for that.

What's great is that all 3 seemed to have equally pulled their weight in this tourny. Going in to it, I thought it would be Kyle and Luke as first choice, but Evan showed that he should be equally as highly regarded. Superb.
I only found the live video link in time for the trophy ceremony.............. which seems to be taking aeons !! Got one brief glimpse of our boys. Not sure I have the stamina ( or the Spanish) to sit it out much longer !
Well, they looked very sweet holding their trophy, and the national anthem playing

Have the last 2 to 3 years of British tennis been the worst that there will be for the foreseeable future?
The crop of 15-18 year olds seem very promising, they won't all make it of course but surely our "top 10" players of 2015-20 will be ranked a lot higher than those of 2010?????
