cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Andy was immense. Completely carries the team - but seems to thrive on that responsibility.Interesting what pat cash said - basically if GB win the cup then Andy has the Davis, Olympic gold, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. There's not a lot more to achieve in the game, outside mutiple majors. WadeWilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 16,006 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Where is the final likely to be held?Depends who wins the other tie, I think if Argentina win we are away, if Belgium win we are at home. Not sure how it works tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelavic191 4,445 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Depends who wins the other tie, I think if Argentina win we are away, if Belgium win we are at home. Not sure how it works tbhIts the other way around. Looks likely to be Belgium away at this moment but if Argentina were to win then I'd imagine it would be somewhere in England. Not sure there's anywhere in Scotland with the capacity needed for such a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson 4,670 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's some achievement for Dunblane to reach a Davis Cup final. cushynumber 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan 23 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If Belgium take 5th rubber then its away, if Argies win then its at home. Nowhere at the moment with a capacity big enough is free for the final! Emirates doesn't hold enough and Simple Minds are on at the hydro. MEN, the one in Birmingham, O2 are all busy and Wimbledon have ruled themselves out of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Andy Murray take a bow...does more as a player than any other in this tournament! I'm pretty convinced we'll win the thing now, both Belgium and Argentina are fairly poor in terms of the rankings from the pool of players they pick from. We'll have both the best singles and best doubles player going into the final. Scap the Argentina chat...it's Belgium away now...sooooo winning this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,646 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Expect Murray to win both his singles, and then they'll win the other two. Will come down to doubles again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will come down to doubles again.If it's Belgium then Goffin will be their strongest and Steve Darcis is beatable by one of the other Brits in the singles, he's just an average player...Argentina literally only have Mayer who could cause any problems, the rest are all average/awful. This is certainly the best chance GB will have of winning this for decades to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still expect them to win the other two though, our second singles player is 130 in the world after all!Who's the Argie's other player? Monaco still kicking about?

KingKirk 25,647 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just worried that once again Murray is having issues with his back.. I think he is the fittest player on the planet. Perhaps he's training to hard.. You hear everyone that knows him say in the off season he almost kills himself.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,855 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just read that Murray might miss the London ATP if Belgium choose to play on Clay (which I think they will given it's Murrays least comfortable surface). Not too worried if they do choose Clay as I thought Murray had a great year playing on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too worried if they do choose Clay as I thought Murray had a great year playing on it. won in Germany and Rome and 5 set semi loss at Roland Garros. I think the Belgians are clutching at straws if they think Murray is weak on it this year. Be a shame for him to miss the 02 - he was dreadful last year and would have been looking to set that right and maybe finish as world number 2. The tennis calendar year is too full.

Duncan 23 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's not Andy they are after by choosing clay. It's the doubles tie! They hope Jamie will have an off day but they seem to forget he's won a few titles on clay as well. If they lose Goffin before the tie then they are fucked! He's had a fair few injuries over the years Will win this tie 3-1 I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 So just to update things here...Fed out and Murray through in Shanghai...Andy has replaced Fed at number 2 (before the tournament started) and has the chance to stretch his advantage.
