bizarre thing is this Davis Cup scheduling is daft. On Sunday they had 6 ties in total with 6 matches in each location, 18 matches in total. Now it had reached the knockout stage, it is just the one tie each day and that means 2 or 3 live matches max.

Need to think about that - they should have QF's over two days in total, semis one more day and then final, it is too stretched out.

My guess is it will go tomorrow as Movember comes to an end.

I think they are all growing them arent they?

Cam started on the wrong foot, early break and 3-0 down

Before today, in the 19 ties played, the winning team won 12/19 of the opening matches and 16/19 of the #1 singles match up and the doubles.

Not sure if that means anything but probably means Dan's is the least important of the 3 rubbers - as so often doubles proving to be important

Struff dictated early on but Cam just getting into it and gets a break back, he is in this match now

 I'll go with means not a lot. Generally surely each match won is equally important in getting to two.

 If any match is more important it's one that looks more of a toss up whichever # match that is. But then still need to take care of the matches that look as if they 'should' be won

Tennis is such a frustrating sport to be a fan of! Just when you thought Cam had it sorted, Struff on top again with the break .

Seriously impressive serving so far it seems, heading for a tie breaker in this doubles. This is going to be nerve wracking!

Deuce on Neals serve - edgy. ALways felt like his serve would be most vulnerable
