Murray playing Davis Cup in Naples, great match on BBC2 saturday morning from 9.30.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

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

Leon Smith now has to make the decision on whether Murray can also play in the doubles today.

 

[Lord Knows]

Played well Murray, he was really on top of his game against a very dangerous opponent. He will play doubles, to far to go to not win the overall tie.

Laura Robson to miss the French Open and Wimbledon due to wrist surgery.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Laura has had that injury since late last year. It seems strange that it has taken so long to decide on surgery. That means her season is all but over, though she should be back for the US Open.

Elena Baltacha has died of liver cancer aged just 30. Absolutely horrific stuff.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Awful news. My thoughts are with her family.
