What a Davis Cup kind of day. The doubles means a lot. And for the Swiss things didn’t turn out so well. And Stan Wawrinka was literally knocked off his feet at the net on a match point volley. For the Brits it was a great day. Andy Murray finished off his singles match with a win. Andy then came out with Colin Fleming and won the dubs ! The Czechs had a great day. They won there dubs so they won over Japan 3-0 so they are done and into the semi-finals. Our buddy Max Mirnyi a Davis cup HERO for Belarus won his doubles match. Bravo beast. And to John Mac we say doubles specialist rock! Doubles double rocks ! Tomorrow is going to be a BIG day. Lots of really exciting Davis cup action to watch all over the world.
