Superb win, hard to explain the fist pumps and tears while I am (ahem) working.
I think Dan needed that win as much or more than Team GB, well done.
And I'd love to hear him being introduced as Davis Cup rubber winner as opposed to 'coming back from a drugs ban'.
Apart from that wobble in the 3rd, Evo showed us some real guts in this game and what a fine win. Isto was surely under much pressure, which showed but equally he made some very fine winners. Ruddy enjoyable match that.. Just remind me, what was wrong with Davis Cup..

Stupendous result for Dan - & unexpected on my part (I left work earlier than usual & he was then two sets to one down). Absolutely delighted for him. Istomin is now 32 & that match lasted four hours & 11 minutes. With any luck, Dan softened him up nicely for the first of the reverse singles, especially bearing in mind that Istomin will also be playing in the doubles rubber tomorrow afternoon.
Poor start from Karimov but improved in the 3rd and Nozzer in into TB. Yanks and spanish are both 2nil down in the semi's. Coric and cilic spanking the yanks on clay.
