Davis Cup Day Two - Drews Blog

Just read J Overends blog on the BBC. Agree with some of it but came to the line "There is more stability in a weeble" (Referring to the GB mens game) Now he has just become a father for the second time and perhaps been watching too much cbeebies or something but thats an awful line !
