Strange format. GB or US should both qualify for the semis if Evo wins.

 probably not, to be honest - if we win the mixed, then yes. If we lose the mixed and the match overall, we are unlikely to make it through. The results in the other ties so far (as well as previous rounds) mean that on results countback, we are probably going to end up weakest of the 3 losing teams and thus miss out on the 1 place available.

But first, if Dan wins and we win the mixed, that wont be an issue! 

The SP so far:

R1:  (3) Madison Keys (USA) WR 11 defeated (15) Katie Swan WR 145 by 2-6 6-3 6-4 

R2:   (15) Cameron Norrie WR 14 defeated (3) Taylor Fritz (USA) WR 9 by 6-4 6-7 6-4 

R3:  Jessica Pegula (USA) WR 3 defeated (15) Harriet Dart WR 98 by 2 & 0

 Harriet lost to Pegula, so GB 2-1 down. All on Dan to keep this time alive but has just lost it to Tiafoe.

Just updating Indy's post above

USA lead GB 2-1
Greece and Croatia are 1 each
Italy lead Poland 2-1

USA ( 11-2, 23-7 ) vs GB ( 8-5 ,18-15 )
Greece ( 9-3, 19-10 ) vs Croatia ( 9-3, 19-9)
Poland ( 8-5, 17-12 ) vs Italy ( 10-3, 21-8)

If my maths is correct, GB cant possibly do better than the loser of Greece and Croatia. Nor Italy. So Poland is our only hope unless we win both remaining matches. For that to happen, we probably need Poland to lose both remaining ties against Italy; Linette is playing Bronzetti next up in that - go Bronzetti.

But our most likely chance to progress is to beat the States - Evo is now 1 set all against Tiafoe so in a battle

---

 Dan loses in 3 sets and Linette is 6-1 up on the Italian - so it looks like we are sadly out of this.

Nonetheless a decent week and Cam in particular and Katie come out with a lot of credit I would say.
