Great that the dubs stepped up there. Evo can hopefully just press reset after that one today.

Germany would give us a good shot at the semi's if they win group F. The 2x best group runners up play against group A & B winners. DC should definitely adopt the group's of x4 teams and straight forward 16 team tournament, x6 groups of x3 is a nonsense. If x16 teams Isn't enough then go x24 and have just group winners into QF.

Agree totally.  I fear calculators will need to be at the ready later to see who has won the most sets/games/points etc.  That is not the way to decided tennis results.

 Yeah and we don't want Djoko in singles and then featuring in a dubs pair as well, which against our regular dubs could go anyway I'm thinking.. Like when Rafa played two years ago and we have seen with the likes of AMurray turning his had to dubs. It does seem to me that the 'worldies' are very capable of upsetting regular dubs pairs even good pairs.

 Against Germany we should have enough with our regular dubs I would hope.

Germany have taken the 1st set in the doubles.

Final set - Russia through. If they win final set Serbia go through as a best runner up. If Spain take it, Spain top group and Russia drop into the second spot.

Impossible to call.
