anyone been watching the davis cup today? it's all square at the end of the day - GBR 1 -1 Poland
Murray won, un-lucky for Dan Evans though on his DC debut, he tried to fight back in the 3rd but it was just too late.
Roll on the dubs tomorrow

[BigSister]

Glad murray won though

[Marc]

Happy birthday Del potro and also Mel Oudin who I found out also has her birthday on 23rd September as well ^_^n

Yup I also heard this Bigsis! good news for wommens tennis!! I had a feeling she would come back after Clijsters triumph in NY!

as for British Tennis, only murray is the mens hope, the others just arent good enough. Maybe it'll take some time, but hopefully more tennis stars can come about from the UK

[Gemmer-x]

Can't wait for the Hopman Cup in jan, I'm getting serious Murray withdrawal symptoms :P

[BigSister]

I follow him on twitter gemma so im ok so far just want him to win a slam next year so much though

[Marc]

He seriously needs to win AO this year! I am getting desperate. I would kill for him to win a grand slam.

Hopman Cup will be awesome! Have a really good feeling about Robson; she'll be awesome in a few years time.

LOL well done Nicky!

[BigSister]

Im same Marc I mean anything would be ok doesnt have to be Wimbledon but think USA and Australlian are his biggest chances this year
and haha Nicky well done ^_^

[Gemmer-x]

Glad for Elena Baltacha, good stuff

Laura Robson just lost her singles match of hopman cup 6-4 3-6 0-6. It's a shame for her, [especially the bagel!] played a good first set but seemed to loose her serve when it counted most and her opponent who is alot higher ranked and more experienced seemed to step it up a notch. Overall Laura shouldn't be too dissapointed, she played some great, well-constructed points.
