It's a shame there's no longer ranking points for DC. The 110 points would have been quite nice.

Yes indeed, though it would have been the points available from the previous round,  ie 80 for two wins, since Kyle didn't play in that previous round.

Huge from Kyle - well done!

And well done to the whole team. Great weekend.

Never in doubt ?! Not from where I was sitting, maybe you've overdosed on those positivity pills I was sending you, SC

Maybe I did, but for all that it got a bit tense when he failed to serve out the match at 5-4, I couldn't help feeling that he was still going to find a way to win it.  Thankfully, he did & I'm sure he'll have learnt a lot from that match. wink

I am just coming down off cloud 9, although there is a long way still to come. Great performance from Jamie, Dom yesterday, but Kyle's performance today takes the biscuit. Not just the dominant first 2 3/4 sets, but the nerve to come through when the pressure was on at the end. I am so happy for him and his family, whom I know are out there with him. They must be so proud right now.

Have to say though, that I agree with Indi. Kyle had to win that 3rd set. If Lajovic had taken it, I would have made him favourite, even at 2 set to 1 down.

Argentina at home in the SF. Has to be on indoor fast, so with Evo back in the reckoning (assuming he has a good USA swing over the next few weeks), Leon in going to have a decision to make. Kyle has proved himself to be the King of Clay, but on a faster indoor court, Evo has to be considered. What a great situation to be in though.

Congrats to the whole team and the fans who made the journey.

Serbia 1 GB 3
Italy 1 Argentina 3

So as has been said, SF : GB home to Argentina.

Czech Republic 1 France 3
USA 2 Croatia 1 - ongoing

Clearly a final against France or USA would be away since we beat each of them at home in last year's glory run. A final against Croatia would be at home.

I see they are playing the dead rubber, and Serbia took the first set 6-2 :(

Seems a strange decision to play it - the other two completed matches haven't

I think if they only play 3 sets on the final day they play the dead rubber

Yes, the rules are that if rubber 4 is no more than 3 sets then they play rubber 5 ( unless both sides agree otherwise? ). It will undoubtably just be best of 3.

The other two rubber 4s today went to 4 sets.

Hopefully it's Croatia then, any idea what surface USA - Croatia is on?

 

Cilic could beat Isner but Coric would be up against it versus Sock.
