He's broke him once mate...have some faith!

Favourite with the bookies now as well

[cushynumber 25,178]

this is getting interesting. Unfortunately

Means fuck all. Goffin isn't exactly known for his powers of recovery. As far as I can see I'm not sure he's ever won a match from 2-0 down in a 5 set match.

EDIT: In fact he's actually never won a match from 0-2 behind.

No but he's the world number 16.

He's clearly the favourite for this set and then any subsequent ones.

[SasaPapacLoyal 348]

Needs to start holding his serve

True, but Goffin isn't exactly as physical monster the same way as Djokovic, Murray, Ferrer are. In fact he's a bit of a powderpuff.

I doubt he has any sort of physical edge over Edmund in a 5 set match. Which might be an issue, especially on clay.

edmund starting to fold

[KingKirk 25,656]

John Lloyds a tool btw I can't take anything serious that he says

[cushynumber 25,178]

edmund doesn't seem to be very mobile or flexible when the balls at his feet he really struggles

[KingKirk 25,656]

Would've accepted this before a ball was played. So lets go Kyle give it a go lad

[cushynumber 25,178]

folding like a bad hand

[cushynumber 25,178]

broken 7 of the last 8 times he has served. Thats fucking woeful.

[AyeReadyStu 70]

Really disappointed Edmund wilted like that at the end, get in the gym son, Goffin is hardly a stamina monster himself, yet he managed to put enough pressure on Edmund to make him wilt.

[KingKirk 25,656]

Did the bbc just say Andy isn't that far behind Novak

[cushynumber 25,178]

Did the bbc just say Andy isn't that far behind Novak

well...he is one behind - you cant get less than that!

[cushynumber 25,178]

Andy takes first set

[dummiesoot 16,006]

They've had a piss-easy draw and got lucky through other countries top players deciding not to play.

First round they played Switzerland minus Fed and Wawrinka, who's best player was ranked 187 in the world.

QF they played Canada minus Raonic and Pospisil who's best player was ranked 285.

SF they played Argentina minus Del Potro and Juan Monaco, who are roughly as good as Belgium are, with players ranked in the 60-120 range.

Piss easy right enough

[cushynumber 25,178]

Be nice if someone stepped up and gave andy a fuckin hand.

[cushynumber 25,178]

Today you will see something that will never be repeated. Two Scottish brothers representing the UK in a Davis cup final. You will never see this again in our lifetime.

[Orange Persson 548]

This is real gritty tennis after the show glam and money of World finals. Belgian left hander is useful. Would love to see our younger player get a result against him.

Our kid over achieved first 2 sets. Not used to the level he was playing at for 5 sets. Talent and massive stamina are needed, shame really and sympathies for him.

Andy..........you got to love him. So proud we should be, and Jamie. Saw a few of that Belgian team at Braehead. Would love to have been at this final with me Union Flag

Jamie has made a lot of errors today so far.
