GB into the final of the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936 after Andy M beats Tomic in straight sets

36 was the last time we won it I think. Got to the final in the 70's

 

[Sniffer]

The Davis Cup final between GB and Belgium on 27-29 November, will, as expected on clay, be held at the 13,000-capacity Flanders Expo Arena in Ghent.

Belgium 9-4 - Might be worth a punt as an insurance policy.

 

[Nando]

Stunning stuff from Konta.

 

[Sniffer]

Sue Barker beating Tracy Austin in 1981 Brighton the last time a British woman beat a World No.2.

An excellent win for Konta. 5-1 down in the third set too!

After losing the first set 4-6 against Venus Williams, Johanna Konta has taken the second set 6-3

 

[Sniffer]

Konta, serving for the match, is broken by Williams. 5-4 Konta final set.

 

[Sniffer]

Venus now serving for the match.

 

[Sniffer]

Williams wins 6-4 3-6 7-5.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Still a tremendous effort. Looks like she could push the top twenty in the next year if she keeps progressing. Most impressive.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray on court now vs Ferrer at the O2.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Takes the first set 6-4.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

6-4 6-4 in the end. As comfortable as it ever is against Ferrer who always makes his opponents work for a victory.

Beat either Wawrinka or Rafa and he should go through.

 

[lemonjelly]

You'd expect him to.
Fortunate draw for Murray really, Fed & Djok in the other half.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

First set to Rafa, 6-4. He's played very well indeed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

6-4 6-1. Murray was poor and tanked the second set a bit but very good to see Rafa back in form. Moving much better than he has at the last few majors.

Andrew Castle is still a SHITE commentator.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

7-6 6-4 Wawrinka. Disappointing. Although how much of an eye Murray has on the Davis Cup final next month, who knows.

 

[Sniffer]

Kyle Edmund wins the first set of the Davis Cup final against the Belgian No.1 David Goffin.

 

[Sniffer]

He's a break up in the second set too!

 

[Sniffer]

Make that a double break!
