Generally if the tie is 3-1, they won't play a fifth anyway.

Let's not count our chickens!

As far as I'm concerned, the shirt is a prime candidate for the worst possible taste hall of fame, up there with that ghastly creation the leading Aussie young guns wore at the AO. Its one redeeming feature is that it's mostly blue, my favourite colour. wink

Much as it would be nice to give Kyle or Liam a match in a dead rubber I am fairly sure Leon can only pick from his nominated team of 4.

Then it'll have to be Dom ! Would be great to see him play a singles smile

I don't mean to alarm you, but Liam know plays in the ghastly creation the aussie young guns wore at the AO

I like it !!

And the Aussies' fluo-sunshine look . . .

AND Liam's hippy-dippy shirts . . .

Let Federer do the 'classic' look, and the young guns (and James!) can push the boat out smile

I didn't realise just how much I wanted the doubles pair to be Dom & Jamie.

Now just feel so much more relaxed about today and the eventual outcome of the tie.

smile Indiana, been remiss, forgot to ask how you are after your heroics this week?

indiana · Tennis legend

Thanks for your concern.

Head was hurting like hell, but I was able to sit up and watch the tennis to see the full forces of the US of A take down that one man band of Brits.

My head is hurting more again.

This is not going to end well. Dom and Jamie are not a good fit together and are a scratch pairing against the best pair in the world who have played together a gazillion times. Would have preferred Colin and Jonny to be playing.

I was wondering who Dom and Jamie had been practicing against . . .

Did they have Andy and Kyle on the other side? Or Kyle and Liam? It's hardly a fair fight ! Or very useful . . Wonder why they didn't get a couple of our other double specialists to join the team, for training purposes . . .
