I see on live rankings, Kyle has moved to provisional 54 and Dan down to 55...Dan seems to have lost 27 points , presumably that is from last years Davis Cup semi v Australia?

JonH, he won a $15k futures which is the drop.

So what are that chances of Brazilian TV showing the DC cup semi final of their arch rivals Argentina. Fingers crossed, or it is just live scores for me.

Thanks Jaffa - of course. I saw on live rankings that Andy had lost points and also others like Tomic who played DC semis, so assumed it was linked to that. Presumably those DC points from last year come off at the corresponding date this year or have they already deleted those points?

Not sure Evo had any DC points from last year. Apart from Andy, the only person to win a singles was Wardy (v Isner)

If the first game is anything to go by, they might have to put Kyle's match back until tomorrow. This could be a long one.

Anyone know who that is sitting next to Dan E on the GB bench?

Murray and DelPo is a bit of an epic. Andy cant afford to go down two sets...Gasquet in control v Coric, 2 sets and a break up. I must admit I doubted Gasquet so looks like I was wrong! So far at least

Muzzah doesn't seem to have it all together (yet?), but on the bright side Delpo seems to be a step slower this set.

I know Muzzah's had a hard year already, and not a great personal time recently, but I just hope that he can get it together. I think if Muzzah can play closer to his A game, he will win.

Yes, 1 set all! Epic match so far, v high quality play and that forehand winner off the lob was special!

I definitely did Gasquet an injustice, he has won comfortably enough in 3 sets. Good win for France.

On a lighter note, the BBC seem to have an interesting davis cup line up today!

That's pretty spectacular. It's last year's SF line-up isn't it?

Spectator · All-time great

3 hrs 20 mins+ for the first three sets. Talk about battles.

Oh no! Time to break back Andy!!!!
