Davis Cup – ‘One of the most memorable days in British tennis history’ – Annabel Croft
The Murray brothers’ five-set win over Sam Groth and Lleyton Hewitt was ‘one of the most memorable days in British tennis history’, according to British Eurosport pundit Annabel Croft.
With Great Britain standing one Andy Murray match win away from a Davis Cup by BNP Paribas final for the first time since 1978, Croft joined David Law (BBC 5 Live) and Catherine Whitaker on the Tennis Podcast to talk about an epic doubles encounter.
“I’ve never experienced an atmosphere in my life like the one in this arena today,” said Croft. “It’s one of the most memorable days in British tennis history and Judy Murray said to me in New York that winning the Davis Cup is one of Andy’s major ambitions.”
Sitting courtside in Glasgow as Bernard Tomic was put through his paces on Saturday evening, the Tennis Podcast team speculated about whether any changes to the team are likely.
‘‘It is just such a conundrum for the Aussies over who to pick,” said Croft. “From what I’m seeing I think it might well be Tomic that the Aussies put in to face Andy Murray tomorrow. Andy is very physically and emotionally drained so the Aussies need someone with more energy, and that’s probably Tomic.”
The Tennis Podcast team also go behind the scenes to find out why the atmosphere in Glasgow is so good. They talk to We Are Tennis Fan Academy members – fans who were hand-picked by John McEnroe to win seats in the ‘singing area’ of the stadium because of their passion for the job.
The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with The Telegraph and supported by BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world.
