It's on eurosport 1, prime are showing the France Czech matches so I expect today's will be available later. Dan played well, some lovely shots. You got the sense that he could break Mannerino's serve each set, that Dan was in control, having said that I missed the beginning and end of the 1st set.

Sounds like Dan played very well from report on bbc!

Cam just took the first set. 4 games in a row from 2-2 sounding comfortable and looking like we are big favourites to win the group now.

Marvellous- a doubles win would make it certain for us to go through . Lose the doubles and we still have to beat the Czechs tomorrow morning

If we lose to Czechs 3-0 we are out. If we lose 2-1 we should be through:

France are on -2 sets difference

If we lose 2-1 , worst we can be is -1 (based on winning one match in 3 sets and losing two in straight sets ie -3 on the day and we enter at +2 after today) and we would finish second to Czechs. Czechs enter match with us at all square sets wise.

If we win we definitely top the group.

So we just need the one win tomorrow.

we Should expect to get that !

Our dubs pairing need to perform tomorrow. Not a good first set today. I heard back strain and fatigue from the press but the best prep for tough knockouts is winning and to miss a tough quarter final, to w/o the group. There are certainly sides we would want to avoid if our dubs pairing would seem Inconsistent.
