Great doubles match between Murray brothers and Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth , the Murrsys coming through 6-4 in 5th set to go 2-1 with Andy playing Bernand Tomic to put GB in Davis Cup final

Last day today in the Davis Cup Semi final where GB take on Australia.
Andy Murray and Dan Evans preparing to take on Bernard Tomic and Thanasi Kokkinakis respectively in the final two rubbers.

Current score, Murray is 4-2 up on Tomic

Well done to the GB team in reaching the finals. Special note to Andy Murray in having to play three though matches in three days.

Bring on either the Argentinians over here or the Belgians in their country.

Much prefer the Argies here if it's possible... but well done GB Tennis, and they have to be contender for BBC team of the year.....or would Japan's rugby team be contender too?.
