2 breaks up in the second

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody hell - 2 sets up

 

[Sniffer]

Edmund wins the second set 6-1!

Blackadder may soon have a challenger in my favourite Edmund ever competition!

For those interested I found this cracking read about the last time Great Britain reached the Davis Cup Final.

I read that the other day. Buster Mottram sounds like a deeply unlikeable chap unfortunately.

Goffin a break up in the third.

 

[Sniffer]

Goffin goes two breaks up in the third but Edmund gets a break back. 4-2 Goffin

 

[Sniffer]

Goffin breaks again - 5-2

 

[Sniffer]

Third set goes to Goffin 6-2

 

[Sniffer]

Goffin a break up in the fourth set. 2-1

 

[Sniffer]

Goffin two breaks up in the fourth - 4-1

 

[Sniffer]

Two sets all. Why didn't I put a bet on Goffin when he was two sets down?

 

[ROVERT47]

Pisser for that tennis, the kid was on the brink of a result of a lifetime, I suppose Murray has been the beneficiary of similar in the past.

 

[Sniffer]

Goffin wins 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0.

The Murray brothers in the doubles and the Murray Goffin game were always likely to be the key games.

Murray breaks for a 4-2 lead in the first set

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

First set to Murray. Just two more sets and the Davis Cup will be won.

 

[leedswolf]

Yes. 2 more sets for me to witness another tennis achievement I never expected in my lifetime.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Murray the right man to have to try and finish this off in what sounds like an absolute bearpit

 

[Parkins left foot]

Somewhat surprised that the final is not played in a neutral country - bloke in the crowd with a fecking megaphone!

 

[leedswolf]

The Belgians also have impeccable music taste.
