And Dave does turn it round: he wins by 6-3 4-6 7-6(0)!
GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!GB top 25s (ranks, whereabouts) & stats - http://www.britishtennis.net/stats.html
Damn it, Dave would have been favourites against either of the wild cards and I think could have pushed Konecny but PHH is a very good player.
Dave is up *3-2 with a break
All hopes dashed! A lousy day all round for the Brits in St Rémy:
R1: Martin Fischer & Adrián Menéndez (AUT/ESP) defeated (4) David Rice & Sean Thornley CR 366 by 5-7 6-5 [10-8]
So close!
Make that a double break, so he'll be serving for the first set: *5-2.
First set duly bagged by 6-2.
