Davis Cup Tennis

Ireland hammered 5-0 by South Africa and have been relegated.

Heroic stuff from Brothers Murray to beat Groth/Hewitt in a 5 set thriller. Great Britain 2-1 up and on the brink of their first Davis Cup final since 1978.

Its a repeat of the 1904 Davis Cup final with Belgium facing Great Britain. Belgium will have home court advantage as they chase their first Davis Cup crown.

Murray will win the davis cup for GB. Even with home court advantage, Belgium won’t win unless Andy Murray gets injured before the final.

Great early effort from 100 ranked Kyle Edmunds in the opening game of the David Cup final against 16 ranked David Goffin. Kyle took the first two sets but ultimately the ranking differential told and he lost out 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0.

Andy is well on the way to levelling up proceedings though. He’s taken the first two sets off Ruben Bemelmans

Murray will beat Goffan at a canter and that will then end Murrays future participation in the Davis cup like Federer, wawrinka, djokovic and nadal before him…

The commentators are starting to tear up already. :slight_smile:

What a rally and match winning point from Murray.

Reigning champions Great Britain have it all to do now after losing both opening singles yesterday to Argentina. Del Potro came from 2-1 to beat Murray in 5.

Croatia and France 1-1 in the other semi final.

Argentina have dethroned the Davis Cup champions in Glasgow. Leonardo Mayer beat Dan Evans 4-6 6-4 6-2 6-3 in the deciding match.

Croatia await in the final.

Thank fuck.

Delighted for del potro. Be great if Argentina go on to win it now.

More heroics from Del Potro coming from two sets down against Cilic to win in 5. The Davis Cup final of 2016 is level at 2-2 with the decider between Federico Delbonis and Ivo Karlovic just under way.

Argentina win. I thought karlovic would have too much for delbonis

Nadal about to win his 27th straight Davis Cup singles match here now. His record in the Davis Cup is utterly phenomenal.

Looks like the doubles will decide who joins Canada in the final here.

Nadal bagels Evans in the second set.

The :goat: Davis Cup player.

Outstanding atmosphere.

Fucking umpire!

Nadal is apoplectic.
