As in Ebden & Purcell beat Lehecka & Pavlasek by 4 & 5
Indeed but the first string singles almost went to the Czech team. Lehecka must be gutted. Apparently he has a reputation for throwing away similar leads.
Arnaldi opens versus van de Zandschulp - first set to Italy 7-6
Sinner plays Griekspoor next
Bolelli and Sonego slated to play Koolhof and Rojer in doubles - that might change if it goes to a doubles.
The Dutch could win that doubles, maybe should. Sinner should win his singles though; the opening singles is therefore vital to both sides and is close at this stage. Interesting one to watch!
