Phew! Colin & Andy finally wrap it up, claiming the fourth set easily to win by 6-3 6-3 6-7(6) 6-1. smile

What's the point of croft and Baker standing with C & A to interview them, the Croft refuses to let Jamie ask a single question. Disgusting!

Well done guys ! Work to do tomorrow, but a very important win.

well done lads! The little blip in the 3rd aside, that was absolutely brilliant!

OK. Before we get to the doubles. I can now tell you all why Kyle was not at practice this morning. He was ...... (change thread to continue)

That's Colin's 8th Davis Cup doubles win in a row (with 5 different partners - 2 with Ken then 1 with Jamie, 3 with Ross, 1 with Jonny and 1 with Andy), making his DC doubles record 8-1 and DC record overall to 9-1!

Andy is now 15-1 in singles and 3-5 in doubles (so 18-6 overall) and will hit the quarter century in Davis Cup rubbers played tomorrow.

Spectator · All-time great

And speaking of amazing doubles players ... several rounds of applause in order for Messrs Nestor and Pospisil. Nestor - 41 years old and still able to play 5 sets, 4:21 of high-quality tennis against Serbia at home. And win. Quite amazing.

Very high quality doubles match, surely now we are just one match away....

indiana · Tennis legend

We are undoubtably one match away, no denying that...

I really hope we are no matches away after Match 4.

What's the OOP tomorrow?

paulisi · Tennis legend

Almost there.

Home draw please, I wouldn't mind going if we did get a home draw or even an easy and cheap to get to away tie.

Well done boys. Easy peasy. I felt Andy barely got out of second gear and was never really under threat.

Dodig played well for much of the match but didn't take his chances on the crucial points. If he had done it would have been a competitive match and then we would have seen how much more Andy had.

Andy v Dodig is first up at 11am local (10am UK, I think)

Evo v Coric will be on after that,

Plenty of overnight rain here in Umag but clouds have broken up and the locals assure us that the weather will be fine for the rest of the day.
