A 15K+H in Togo looked like it could be well worth the trip but Joe has drawn one of the shortest straws ...

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
Joe & David O'Hare are reunited in the doubles:
R1: BYE vs (2) David O'Hare & Joe Salisbury CR 891 (361+530)
QF: Joel Kincaid & Lucas Renard (USA/SWE) UNR vs (2) David O'Hare & Joe Salisbury CR 891 (361+530)
Looks like the serve is really dominant in this one. Joe is 1/3 on BPs whilst Darko has yet to create a BP in the entire match. Joe leads 2-1* in the decider.
Edit
Super jinxing from BiS there because as I type, Joe forces another BP and takes it for *3-1. Come on.
L16: Joe Salisbury WR 1050 defeated George Darko (GHA) UNR by 6-3 6-7(5) 6-3

QF: (6) Juan Sebastián Gómez (COL) WR 585 (CH = 474 in May 2012) vs Joe Salisbury WR 1050
Into the Top 1000 for Joe.
The scoreline was very tight considering that Joe managed to complete the entire match without facing a single BP.
