I certainly hope Dan Evans has been practicing with Jamie Murray over the past week.

Funnily enough he has, if some of the clips on Twitter are anything to go by.

Not the start we wanted but I still fancy our chances. I can't for the life of me understand why Pella got the nod over Delbonis on an indoor hard court. The only way I could see Kyle losing is if the pressure of being 1-0 down gets to him.

I can only think its the head to head but that completely ignores the difference in conditions at their previous meeting.  If GB sneak this 3-2 now it could well be the decision to go with Pella that is the bigger factor than Andy losing today. 

What an amazing match ! Just spell-binding .....

That's a big if. I dearly hope that GB does win (3-2, 4-1 or in any other combination!) But the two non-AM singles matches are very uncertain, and I am not at all sanguine about the doubles. I can't see Andy Murray playing, and Dan Evans, who - at a guess is the most likely partner - is someone with whom Jamie Murray has never played (to the best of my knowledge) a competitive match. He isn't as strong in doubles as in singles, and he is bound to be the main target in the match. Anyone who could get through five sets of Stan Wawrinka's serve is clearly able to return, which is the thing Jamie Murray tends to say he most looks for in a partner, but a GB victory doesn't feel at all certain.

Which channel is showing Kyle's match ?

 Well I'll be watching it on eurosport.

Thanks. Not much good for me though.  I can see BBC on Flimon.com but not their red button channels.  Eurosport not available to me here in Brazil.  Gutted.

Just checked on freeview and the match is being shown on the red button, which is channel 601.  No chance of locating that?    

P.S If you haven't already, check your PMs.

I honestly don't see the logic of including Evo in the final squad. Once it was decided that Kyle would play on Day 1 (where he looked all but certain to play Pella or Delbonis) it would have made far more sense to include Dom to beef up our doubles strength, especially as Andy playing a lengthy 5 setter against Del Potro wasn't exactly a huge shock.
