Quarter-Finals - Serbia v Great Britain: Day 2, Part 2 Davis Cup

A great start for Great Britain. Kyle Edmund winning the first set.

Showing finesse, as well, taking a 2-0 set lead.

He has done it. He has done it in style. If he can do it, what a

position that puts Britain in. That is a very brisk first set. One

rubber apiece. The only people singing in the rain in Belgrade have

been the Stirling University students, you cannot dampen the

spirits stop the weather has played up with so Great Britain in the

Davis Cup. We had two matches completed stock Kyle Edmund, super

performance against the very experienced young kids are James

Ward beaten. Coming up we have the doubles, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot

for Britain. We had just had their partners confirmed. In the other

matches, we can see, as far as Italy and Argentina are concerned, 1-1.

France just winning their double match against the Czech Republic.

The USA 2-0 up against Croatia. The Bryan brothers playing for the

United States, to see if they can win that one and go through to the

semifinals. If you have not been watching on BBC Two, James Ward

defeated by low the server number one. No Novak, but

it's risky. So much expected, and he did deliver. Jamie and John are with

me. Talk about Ward, did not get into that one. Did not have any

answers. He looked like a player out of confidence, not many wins this

year. Did not have enough variety. His opponent iterating the points,

moving him around. Getting the ball up nice and high. A lot of bad

errors on serve. Even he played his best, he would have struggled, and

he was way below his best. He would have been disappointed. To me, he

looked mentally like gave up a little bit, a little bit too soon.

Disappointing performance. Confidence is such a big thing. We

have seen before, he can raise his game. Does not have the confidence.

You can see at the start of the first set, his whole demeanour was

of someone really struggling with the confidence. Not winning many

matches this year. He has got out of the winning feeling. But let's talk

about Lajovic, established clay-court player, played a lot in

Italy growing up. He was using the spin, the backhand down the line

getting water into the forehand corner, he had no answer. You how to

salute Lajovic, he played well. Whatever happened in the doubles, it

could go down to the third and fourth match. It will be a big job

for Leon Smith to lift James Ward, he will be very disappointed.

It could go down to the fifth match, and James Ward mayhap to win it. Tip

as far as Kyle Edmund is concerned, he would have been a interested

spectator. Kyle has the weapons that James does not have. He will know it

will be a tough match. We thought it was Kyle's time to step up.

Everybody looking at Andy Murray to carry the team through. Whatever

happens in the doubles, two matches in a row for Kyle, the first one, he

had to win. Coming into play Lajovic, how James Ward played to

date, another one where you are thinking, come on, we need you to

pull us through. Take a Tipsarevic not at his best. But you cannot take

anything away from Kyle, hitting so well into the corners. Conditions a

lot better today. Some winners, nothing like Kyle Edmund. The tennis

balls were so heavy, yet we could see him striking winners from all

over the court. The forehand was magnificent. Let me tell you, on

that form, he's dangerous on clay. 50-50 match. Maybe Kyle might be a

slight favourite. Talking about the weather, hopefully it will get

better. They were watering the court, trying to take away Kyle's

weapons. If it will get drier, he will be laughing. The biggest

difference in the match against Tipsarevic was the pace of the shop.

Looked like Tipsarevic was not ready for that. Spending time out of the

game. Not the case against Lajovic, very experienced, he has had some

big wins, he has been to the fourth round at Roland Garros. Much more

even matchup. Kyle will still have the same impact with the forehand,

good to see what Lajovic has got, is better wing is the backhand wing.

Although Andy Murray is there is the chief cheerleader, Kyle is the

British number one, how will he feel with the situation? Only his second

Davis Cup tie, and the answer is incredibly well. He has been thrown

in the deep end. First match making his debut in the final. Playing

extraordinarily well, even though he did not win. Now grown into a

quarterfinal, knowing he has to win two singles. Boy, did you deal with

it well yesterday. Vague reason to suggest he won't do with it well

tomorrow. Coming up to date the all-important doubles match, Great

Britain winning five of their last six, and Jamie Murray has become a

key member of the team. So. This time Jamie Murray takes the starring

role. The doubles is done, Andy Murrays have won. That is it,

winning blow delivered by Jamie Murray. Great Britain are in charge

of this world group tie. There could have been a wall in the way, would

not have stopped Jamie. It is out, the marrieds win, 2-1 Great Britain.

-- the Murrays win. They have given us some thrilling moment in the

doubles. This time Jamie not playing with his brother, he's playing with

Dom Inglot. He has been talking to Russell. You have not played that

any matches with Dom Inglot, how will that work? We've played Davis

Cup against the States last year. We lost a long five set match to the

Bryan brothers. We have played a lot of good tennis. Hopefully we can

team up again, with that same level of performance. Always a good

partnership with your net deals and his big serve. That staff obviously

works well. -- net skills. It is finding the return game together.

Putting enough balls in play to keep putting pressure on your opponent to

come up with some good stuff. If we can do that, we will be a dangerous

team. Nice having your brother making a noise on the sidelines is

not it is cool he came out. The last few days must have been pretty

hectic for him, all of the post-Wimbledon staff. It is cool to

support the scene, definitely. We think it is cool as well. Such a

good doubles player. Wonderful to win his first grand slam Men's

Doubles, to add to the Mixed Doubles. Getting very emotional at

the Australian Open. Jamie was an amazing junior in the singles.

Ending up not quite happening. There were a few times when he considers

stopping playing. Started to play more and more doubles, develop his

game. Even from a very young stage, he has these world-class volleys.

Great to see what a career here is made. It is the Mixed Doubles that

catapulted him in. In Australia, great to see, and Andy supporting

him. Even though he was playing the final. So consistent. We are seeing

players playing until they are 38, 39, 40. He's still young man. Had

some really good partnerships, hopefully a long career ahead. You

know him well, he has been world number one, that meant a lot.

Slipping a bit of the Wimbledon. That has been important. Getting one

over his younger brother. As Jamie says, remarkable how he has come up

in the doubles. Some of his technique in the doubles, he

struggles on the return on the forehand. Second serve, it has

improved. He has world-class volleys. They want better at

reaction volleys. Finding a way to manoeuvre himself around, so he's

dangerous. He is world number one, he has won slam. He believes in

himself, fabulous Sisi. We saw some moments in the Davis Cup. With

insanely matches. Now not with his brother, Andy. The record,

incredible. Only one defeat in six, and that was the Bryan brothers.

He's a world-class in the doubles. If Andy Murray was to play doubles

full-time, he would be in the top five, without question. Perfect

partnership, Andy is the best return, maybe apart from Djokovic.

The only thing with Dom Inglot and Jamie Murray, the return of serve,

maybe they are not as strong as with Andy on the court. It is a dream,

nation. And sets up Jamie, he does what he does so well at the net. If

you asked any doubles player in the world to play with Andy, they would

say a dream, nation. Not anything he's not like that. Interesting to

watch them play those matches. Amazing story for the brothers to

play with each other. Not that easy emotionally. The first couple of

matches against the French and the Aussies, took them time, took and

the time to play his way into the match. Once he got comfortable, they

were unstoppable. This is playing against the Bryan brothers, in the

fifth set, they came so close. They should be thinking, if they can

almost beat them, they can be anybody. They did combine well, Dom

Inglot, one heck of a serve. Communication is very good, they are

good doubles team. They do combine well. Dom Inglot needs to find the

right partner. He needs to find someone with the same ranking, to

get into the tournaments. He has been playing with Daniel Nestor, he

will only play with them if they are seeded in the Masters and the grand

slam event will stop if they are outside, yes you find another

partner. He is established on the doubles tour of, massive serve. He

is less consistent than Andy Murray, well, anybody is. Jamie has this

massive wingspan at the net, they will put all the pressure on the

Serbians in this match. You have been Davis Cup captain, Leon Smith,

this is an important match. We are favourites in this, whoever Serbia

put in. We are, but the cliche, never take any match for granted.

Leon will not be overconfident. We have a class doubles team, whoever

we put in. We have other people in the wings, if Colin Fleming, we have

good doubles. Excellent Men's Doubles players. We will win this

match, I have no doubt about that. In almost every match with play,

particularly with Andy involved, you can put that as a banker doubles

wins. When Andy plays, you have two doubles singles wins, and now the

doubles with Jamie and Andy, we are very team. Server have one very

strong doubles player, Zimonjic, 40 years of age, former world number

one. He has pretty much won everything there is to win, so

successful. Interesting to see how he deals with this today. He would

be disappointed he has not got the more experienced singles players in

the team. A big job to lead his team. He knows they are second

favourites. Always cautious about favourites before a match.

Especially on a clay court. On any surface, if you are going to play on

clay, the anyone that can level out. If this was a farcical, indoors, I

would be feeling much more comfortable. The players making

their way. There is Dom Inglot and Jamie, with Leon. Coming up behind.

The players we know, it is Zimonjic and Krajinovic. Krajinovic does not

really have any doubles experience. Almost feels like as giving the

singles players a rest. Tipsarevic suffering with a virus. It is an

unknown quantity. Singles player, burst into the top 200, very early.

Coached by Roger Federer's coach. We know he is a good tennis player. How

well he moves around the court, positional sense, nowadays the

doubles players are so practised in their movements, patterns of play.

If you are in the wrong position, does not matter how good you are,

you will not get a shot at getting double. He says his favourite

surface is clay, he has a big forehand, we will see how big it is.

On social media, Zimonjic posted a picture of his son, Leon, with Andy

Murray. Lovely. Said he's going to play the match, Serbia and Great

Britain. Waiting for their turn to play. You have seen Zimonjic play,

tough player. In the doubles. Very good doubles player. He will be the

captain, not of the pair. When you are so far ahead in doubles the

periods, sometimes you try to much. If I was the British pair, when his

partner serves, I would go down Zimonjic's line, you may see him try

to cross. To help his partner row. Maybe a good time to go down his

line, to keep him honest. Tactics such a big part of doubles. Speaks

periods teams, especially early in matches, you will see returners

returning exclusively up the line in the first few games. So much

movement, the power in the serve. Almost becoming like a badminton

formation. You have the net player at the front. Someone like Jamie

Murray, the size of his wingspan, that is what the Canadian Davis Cup

coach for Great Britain, he has been training them well, not many places

where he can stand, and not cover the ball. It is tough when you have

someone with that wingspan. Talking to their coach, I asked why is Jamie

not playing with John Peers. And he took way, pairing

him with Suarez. And they go and win the Austrian Open. I thought the

same, I said I cannot see it working, but it certainly did.

Really good coach. Andy Murray wanted to changes serve, improve his

second serve. He spoke about the technique, to make it better. Louis

is a very good skills coach. Very process driven. If you have

something specific in mind, going to him, one of the best things you can

do. He takes any personalisation, and installs it.

The thing that gives you confidence in Louis, I don't know anybody who

studies tennis more. Almost every minute of every day looking at

footage, to see what other players do. You play any opponent, any of

the doubles teensy coaches, he knows exactly what they are going to do,

because he has watched hundreds of the matches.

You talk about going to Zimonjic's line, will you focus about hitting

to the inexperienced player? I think when they go to the net they will

concentrate on him for try to pepper him with as many shots at the net.

Look for the returns of serve. They do combine well together, Jamie

and John? They do. Jamie Murray with the big wingspan. Very difficult to

get the ball past them. They feel they will take business on their

side of the net, they will get one chance at least to break. They have

a good combination. Holding serve, an area with Jamie, the serve could

be improved? That is the one area he could definitely look at, and think,

can I get it more consistent? Part of the reason why could be a

leveller on the clay court. Different from

being on a hard court. One thing the opponent may think is a chink in the

armour. Positional play around in there is so good. From an opponent's

point of view, and I have played against it, there is a feeling you

cannot get the ball away from him. Dom Inglot, as far as he's

concerned, they are the favourites in this match, apart from the Bryan

brothers, when they were at their peak, here very much the favourites,

different sort of pressure? It is different, the only two doubles he

has played was USA away and home against the Bryan brothers. The long

five setter last year. You are right. Playing with somebody who has

had a load of success, every Davis Cup match, when Jenni Murray plays,

he expects to win. The start of the match for Dom Inglot is important.

On his own service game, getting into his rhythm, getting some holds,

that will settle him down. I talked about leaders of teams, when Andy

and Jamie played together, they are leader type of people. Jamie Murray,

especially at the start, he will take the lead. We know who will be

the captain on this side of the net, definitely Zimonjic, but Jamie has

the experience. Dom will be listening to Jamie? Absolutely. A

lot of the doubles is about energy, setting the right tempo, the right

energy. You see some of the doubles players, debut not stop between

points, they want to keep the energy up. Not so much about talking, it is

almost by example. Jamie coming out of the blocks. Dominating the net.

That is what will help Dom, that will help Jamie. He is a much better

slayer than his rankings. His nickname is Dom

The Bomb. The court will take a bit as it is served. You have two

survey, get a high percentage, give your partner a chance. If push comes

to shove, you know he has the ability to hit such a big serve. On

the doubles court you do not have the hit it that way. 120 mph, all

about setting up your partner. Don't go for massive one-off aces, big

service winners, your partner is the third thing second serve. At least

the British pair have played together. They know all the tactics

and signals. Great atmosphere. Stirling University students making

it like a home tie. Not a sell-out, there is meant to be 6000 people,

only 2000. They are the only people you can here. Pretty much every

match we have had recently, the whole Great Britain support, since

Andy has committed himself to blame, the support has been absolutely

phenomenal. He has committed himself to the team, on the sidelines,

helping Captain Leon Smith. We are ready for this doubles match, all

important doubles match. The tie is 1-1. John has made his way to the

commentary box to join Andrew Castle.

It will be Castle.

It will be exciting. COMMENTATOR: The sun is shining, I

wish I shared John Lloyd's confidence that Great Britain will

win this match. We are impartial of course in the commentary box. I am

pretty confident. They will see a lot of first volleys. Not easy to

move on the clay, to win away from home, quite something. Best of five,

doubles coming to the fore. I enjoy that, I know you do at home. The

Serbians back on the baseline for trying to buy some time.

24 years of age, Krajinovic. Was in Florida at Nick Bollettieri's

Academy. Just one doubles match this year for

Krajinovic. Made the final of a challenger in Rome this year, lost

to Kyle Edmund. This file will have some information on infants -- so

Kyle. Reward straightaway for a drill they do endlessly. Jamie

Murray, how close to the net? The head is almost over the net. He

picks it, making these angles, little short angles stop a practice

that over and over again this license for the net, reflex it away.

Presumably Zimonjic, the 40-year-old, ranked number 31 in the

world at 77. He can be a lot better than that.

Everything Zimonjic does on a doubles court is definite. Sometimes

he exhibits lovely touch, most of the time, a lot of weight and

muscle, everything stays hit. A bit like Dom

An early trial of his nerve here in front of home fans. You never want

to disappoint them. Euros. They did not get the sign

right on that one. Jamie Murray uses the lob return more than any other

player in the doubles tournament. He uses that one quite a lot. And it is

very effective. You have to get it right because they are not lobbing

short players over there. It has to be the right height and speed to get

over their heads. He is a consistent 115-118mph server

with accuracy. That is nice for the away

supporters. Break, break. That is a pity. They decided to run

round the second serve, and actually he made the move superbly. He almost

had too much time on that forehand, Dom Inglot.

Jamie Murray is the hot man on the return at the moment. The lob over

the head, putting the return down the line. MS from Zimonjic. -- a

miss from Zimonjic. And it is a first break to Great

Britain. Reverse singles tomorrow, and the two number ones will play

tomorrow against Kyle Edmund. Whatever happens here, that Madge

will be live. The score, 1-1 at the moment, five matches over three days

in the Davis Cup. James Ward and Tipsarevic will play

a first match if required. But you can see the pivotal nature of

doubles. Still such an important match in the Davis Cup. That is good

to see. And that is the problem when you

stand that close to the net. The ball comes at in this fast, and you

see that you have to have a shorter backswing, because there is just not

enough time to take the racket back. You need to let the speed of the

return cause the problems. That one over hit by Dom Inglot. He needs a

couple of first serves here. You can see an Jamie Murray's serve

placement, he is about a foot and a half back, and he takes a big step

in. He kept his eye on the ball nicely,

Krajinovic, but he had to wait for it. A breezy day in Belgrade. The

left-hander with a bit of tech, so he moves well there and here is a

chance to break back. The hat came off Jamie Murray after

he had the volley. He was looking up to the umpire to retake the point.

If you took that to its logical extension, you could take your hat

off every time you wanted to replay the point.

That is a fantastic start for Great Britain, it really is. Opportunities

for the Serbians to break back. They have not taken it and they will be

disappointing their crowd now. Yes. Krajinovic did not play a

particularly good game on his serve. They have not got into it yet on

their side. For a scratch pairing, they are not quite sure. Jamie

Murray's lob, players thought the other one was going to go for it and

that is what will happen when you have an untried payer. I am assuming

have practised this week but who knows. I am sure they did not expect

to play this doubles team until the last minute. At the moment, they are

not combining as a pair. The British pair have started very well.

A big first service hold here for them is important to get them on the

board. Serving and staying back. You can see that in doubles. Not that

often, but it can be successful. The British pair will be trying to get

there serve back and coming into the nerve as -- coming back into the net

as quickly as possible. Somebody has been to the air

pawnshop. -- horn shot. A couple of hard volley is now that

they have missed. On the clay, sometimes because the court is so

slow, the tendency is to punch the volley is a little harder. Whereas

on a faster court, you perhaps do not have as much chance to do damage

on the return. And they are just not getting enough first serves in the

moment but that will come. And you don't need a first serve if

you can hit a second serve that hard. Right into the body. Ideal.

That is some heavy, heavy serving from Dom Inglot to hold. It has been

a long time since Great Britain, the doubles team without Andy Murray,

has managed to go ahead and win in the Davis Cup. It is a very

difficult thing to do, especially away from home on clay. It was Colin

Fleming and Johnny Marray, that was the last time, in 2013, they did it

without Andy Murray. It will be a big day for Dom Inglot and Jamie

Murray if they can sort this out. They are established doubles players

now and this is what they do. We have a good bunch of doubles players

now. As I say, it is almost reached the point where we feel like we're

going to win these double matches. Andy Murray, when he gets to play,

we are tough to beat. Jamie Murray at number five in the world, Dom

Inglot is 29, and we have Ken and Neil Skupski, playing well together.

Jonathan Marray is in the quarterfinals of another competition

this weekend. We have a good group out there.

That second serve was sitting a little bit. Directing quite a few of

these serves to Jamie Murray's backhand. By far his best side. It

is his forehand that gives him more trouble. He tends to bump the

forehand and coming behind it. Fantastic hands. He is the master of

forehand Fantastic hands. He is the master of

finding angles, Jamie Murray. He flicked that up well. This one here,

straight down the middle. He just finds spaces in doubles. Excellent

play. And you always want a second break

of serve away from home on clay. Absolutely. Louis Kane in there will

be absolutely delighted with this start. Superb. These two have not

settled in the slightest. -- Louis Cayer.

Unfortunately, an example where with these good doubles teams, when they

get to the net, they have an eight foot gap between them, and when one

goes out wide, they close the gap. They try to shrink the court as much

as possible. They follow the flight of the ball.

Sometimes when you look at where Dom Inglot is, you can see a gap, and

you think, down there at the tramliners there is a big gap, but

if you take one step across, he can stretch his arm and he has covered

it down to a foot. You are not going to get over into that lot.

And he has even improved since the final at Wimbledon. With Peter Colt,

remember the 2004 Wimbledon film? He was the stand-in for Paul Bedene. He

did win Wimbledon. Peter Colt, 2004, how could I forget that? -- poll

tetany. And that was a very fine set of

tennis. The crowd have been taken out of it, not that many of them

anyway. The Brits have been making all the noise. Away from home, to

put a sense together like that, in an always pivotal doubles match, a

superb start. You could not get a set more straightforward than that

in Men's Doubles. They look so confident out here, they look like a

doubles team, although they have not played much together, but are

confident of each other's abilities. Whereas with the Serbian team, there

are gaps in the volleying. They played so well against the Bryans,

losing 9-7 last year in the fifth. That was the James Ward match where

he beat John Isner, which some of you will remember, 9-7 in the fifth.

That was the last time they played the Davis Cup together and since

then, Jamie, as well as having his OBEs and all the success that he has

had, is the Australian Open champion, Wimbledon finalist last

year and he has now become number one in the world. Number five now. I

just want to thank our Serbian TV hosts for this delightful break. It

is nice and dramatic. Getting is ready for the second set. A lot of

people taking these pictures will be taking commercial breaks and missing

this opportunity to enjoy some of the numbers. Look at that. Huntly

domination. Points won at the net, 17 for the Serbians. Only eight

break points. The Serbian team had a few but did not come through. But it

was such an easy set. Great Britain are one set up in this quarterfinal.

The Serbian team collecting to change the end at which they each

server. You can change sides between sets and return from the other side,

if you fancy it. But you cannot change your partner, sadly.

He is making a lot of errors about the net. He seems uncomfortable, and

they are concentrating their attack on him.

Something to work with for the home team. Earlier on today, Serbia's

number one, Dusan Lajovic, he defeated James Ward, Britain's

number two, to take it to one match all. That was supposed to be two

singles matches on day one but it was curtailed slightly after just

the one match on day one. Playing catch up today. And we will finish

tomorrow with two singles. Zimonjic misses another return. He

was never the most consistent or flexible. But he always goes for the

return. You never see him chip the ball. At the moment, he has not got

the timing right. Not giving his partner much to feed off.

and not sure whether that was a bad bounce. Never seen a kick serve from

Jamie Marie Ballard. -- Jamie Murray that high. Just not getting enough

balls in the Court at the moment. That tactic is risky when you have

serve and volley players like this British team. The percentages don't

do good for the Serbian team if they keep doing that.

Keeping their noses in front. Zimonjic has won more Davis Cup

matches than anyone else for Serbia, 41 total victory. Played in 51

matches overall. In doubles, 28 victories, 17 losses. He is 14 years

of age. -- 40 years of age. Great doubles record. To carry somebody,

the 40, and beyond clay, not his favourite, a big demand. It is, not

flexible. Not a Turner of the ball. Big server, he needs someone with

him, so he has that combination. He has not got that. His partner mostly

ground strokes, has not played doubles at all. Tough match for him.

He is very streaky, Zimonjic. Great hero in doubles, was exactly like

that. He can be streaky, nailing the return if he gets streaky, dated put

something together. -- they could put something together.

That has to go over the net and then. Your partner has made a great

return, you have to find the Court, low part of the net, down the

middle. Great pick-up from Dom Inglot. You cannot miss that.

There is the first served. Has gone missing, the second serve has been

so good, makes life a lot easier. Darmian Clark playing with Daniel

Nestor or at the moment. The man Zimonjic has had his best success

with, including winning Wimbledon in 2008 and 2009.

Break point. A couple of great reflex volley

Dom Inglot playing with Daniel Nestor, they started at Queen's,

winning Nottingham. Normally plays with Robert instead. Played with

Andy Murray in Monte Carlo. Played with Bruce Martin.

Great hands. Going right at Dom Inglot. Refuse to budge. I would

have run for the hills. Then again, Hans Rice in front. -- the hands,

right in front. They will be disappointed, got there

in plenty of time. Needed a field that one lover, bumping it up high.

When did the singles players stop playing doubles, John? Bjorn Borg

the first one he started doing it regularly. If filtered down from

there, became the thing to do. Some of the tough guys, giving them the

advantage of resting, only playing. In general, once he started, all of

the top players decided it was too much. Started giving up one by one,

a great pity is the ATV have made more moves to try to get them

playing a bit more. They have tried everything. Now on the regular tour,

apart from the Grand Slams, they only play two sets, and a

tie-breaker in the first. The matches do not last more than one

hour 20 minutes stop they only play them when they want to get practice,

when they had been out for a while. A great pity. The audience, the vast

majority only played doubles. Yet they do not see the top stars play

much these days. Short, no backspin, just feeding off

the pace. Excellent volley. Anything above the height of the

net. A bit too quick. Just flows in. Take it. -- close.

A pivotal set for the Serbians. You don't feel they can go two sets down

to the British pair. The next 15 minutes or so very important. Two

singles tomorrow. Kyle Edmund wasn't spectacular form beating Tipsarevic

yesterday. -- was in. A couple of you asking whether Andy

Murray, who is at the tie, supporting his team-mates and a

fantastic effort, can he play? The answer is no, not nominated for the

tie. The other matches in the

quarterfinal, Italy against Argentina, Great Britain claimed the

winner a flat, at home in September, whichever team comes through, Italy

or Argentina. France versus the Czech Republic. Croatia against the

United States. Great comeback by Jack Sark against Marin Cilic. Big

decision by Jim Corriere to leave out Sam Querrey after he got to the

quarterfinals at Wimbledon. -- Courier. Absolutely the right

decision. France will be difficult to beat, their doubles team is so

good. Wonderful to watch together, number one and two in the world at

the moment. Fabulous effort last year when Great Britain defeated

France in the quarterfinal, right after Wimbledon at club. Murray and

Murray beating Nicolas Mas who in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Queen's Club.

-- Nicolas Mahut. Gorgeous volley. Jamie Murray. Just

getting the depth, inside the baseline.

Good, nation from the British pair. -- good combination.

Horrible game so far from Zimonjic. No real control of the ball so far.

What overturned. -- what a return. Unorthodox return from Jamie Murray,

putting people off. Charging in behind it. If he gets it early

enough, imposing figure coming to the net right in front of it. Chance

there. That was well done. Kept his eye on

the ball, did not react, Zimonjic. Letting it come on. Nicely done on

the backhand side. Just wasn't low enough, to put the back and away.

Just getting it back. Good hands, from Zimonjic.

What a point. Should never have lost that, the British pair. So many

Five straight points. chances.

Five straight points. Huge game. 0-40, couple of chances

on Huge game. 0-40, couple of chances

disappointed. Opportunities did not combine at the right time. Zimonjic,

53 tournament victories in a career stretching back over 20 years. You

have Mike Bryant at 114. His brother. Daniel Nestor, 89. Zimonjic

shows real class. His captain was letting him do all the work. That

was his wife and the twins, they are seven.

The tennis balls, Jimmy Merry forgot to show them, Zimonjic said replay

the point. It is any customer that you have to show them. -- a custom.

After the disappointment of not breaking in the previous game, the

British team will be delighted with that hold. Very efficient. Give

concentration. -- good. Ready to pounce. Jamie Murray, as

soon as the ball is deep, where do you go? Looking, looking, waiting to

make his move, punching it away. Zimonjic possibly needs to cross,

take some pressure off his partner. Oh boy, what an error that is.

Thousands and thousands of those type of volleys and you will not

miss them many times right on top of the net, that is just not tracking

the ball early enough of the return and losing his focus. A big point

now. That was a point from Krajinovic. He

caught it perhaps a little bit late. A little bit but it was a well

struck point. He saw him going. He has settled them. He did not start

great, and he has not played any doubles this year, Krajinovic.

Two games in a row, Serbia have come through on their serve, having saved

break points. And that backhand down the line was something quite

spectacular. Fantastic victory for this nation in

2010. Serbia and Montenegro, we saw them at the Braehead Arena in

Glasgow in 2006, the first really good look at Novak Djokavic. He tied

that up with a victory over Greg Rusedski. But no try keep, and no

Djokovic. -- no Troicki. A tough team to put away.

The ground staff just tidying up the lines. A couple of flashy returns

here. Nicely done. A good volley there,

but I like the way he took the initiative and stepped forward. It

would have been more difficult for Jamie. He had commitments to go

across, and would feel on the drop volley. A good start to the game.

Having a bit at the pop -- having a bit of a pop at the crowd from the

University of Stirling there. So casual on those, he makes it look

so easy. The last time we saw a merry playing in a tie-break, he

played them very well. -- a Murray. His younger brother, Andy, in the

Wimbledon finals. A pity. It was a good return.

Slightly too big a backswing. The perfect cross. He took the racket

back a little slow, getting it up high. And then the border behind

him. All these chances the British pair

have had. 4-4, 0-40 against the Zimonjic server. Another

opportunity. He goes down the line on the backhand. And this one,

suddenly Serbia are up. Jamie Murray invested that point

there with amazing energy and did not want it to get to his head.

This is the best atmosphere we have had since yesterday.

Dom Inglot went the wrong way there on that half-court shot. Good

closing of the net by Zimonjic. Dom Inglot fell for the fake there. He

punched that volley away and played a good tie-breaker. Holding his

nerve well. Amazing the way it turns. This could

be a big turning point in the whole time, let alone this match. Time

will tell, but Zimonjic is serving. To make

And that drops in. It is one set all. A massive body blow to the

British team. Dom Inglot and Jamie Murray are going to need some

encouraging now. One set all in this best set doubles match. Well played

by Zimonjic, holding his serve, and Krajinovic for finding the line on

that backhand. Small margins in this game. SUE BARKER: And it shows that

these vital points, and make such a difference. As Andy was saying, they

had their chances at 4-4 and 5-5 and now they are in a real battle. After

all the opportunities they had, that is the nature of tennis with this

scoring system, you create all this pressure and of course he wants to

give yourself opportunities but the downside is that if you do not take

them, the other team get a boost. And that is exactly what has

happened. And you get the feeling that the Serbians are really lifted.

They are firing. They are dipping a little bit and Dom Inglot is making

a few errors. He is becoming a little erratic. At the start we

mentioned that might be the case but it just looks like a few, the last

view he has missed, maybe his head has gone down. I am not sure whether

it is and the orderly on at the side of the court that can maybe say

something to help calm him down but Krajinovic, he has come into the

match well after a shaky start. I think there is room for the British

guys to target him more. They have gone too Zimonjic a bit too much.

Looking at in there, the younger guy is volleying well but they have to

find a way to take these chances and dominate once again. They were the

only team in it in the first set. They almost have to start again but

think about how they started. Even in the first two sets, they have

been the best team. If they had broken at for all, you would think

it was plain sailing. -- 4-4. The stakes are high. If you do not take

chances, it has a double effect because it gives your opponent left.

Also, it starts to bring doubts in your own mind which is what you

want. And the music is coming in for the replays. The music they have

been playing when Serbia was up 5-4 and 6-5, it was stirring stuff. I

wonder if they should give the players headphones to really inspire

them. And the players are back on court as we see the second set

statistics there. Serbia, so much better, winning more winners, they

are right back in this match and it is a crucial doubles match. Who will

take advantage? Dom Inglot, who held so well, so

comfortably to make it 6-6, serving quickly. And they are dealing with

disappointment at the moment. It is all about momentum and Serbia

have got it all right now. He made that look pretty easy, Dom

Inglot. But considering the score in the game, 0-30, he did well there. A

deep lob and he smashed it away so confidently.

Well held indeed. From 0-30 down, with things not going well, they had

to be strong there with the bones overhead. Some crisp play and some

good serving. -- the bones overhead. They won, spoiled by the rain. --

day one. Kyle Edmund, we saw him making his debut in the final last

year but he was fantastic against Tipsarevic, who is not well. It

remains to be seen whether he will play the fifth match tomorrow if

required, against James Ward. There could be a lot of tennis between now

and then. A good pick up from Dom Inglot. You

can see the way he held that ball close to the net.

And there is a glimpse of the power. A big forehand.

There was a good call from Dom Inglot.

Good second serve as well, very clean. It hit the centre of the

racket, but it doesn't matter, it is effective.

Just pulling down a little bit on that first serve at the moment. The

right shoulder comes down a little bit too soon.

Technically that volley is not something you can teach, but it is

one of those top-spin volleys. If you time it right...

That was a backhand down the line, and they are break point down. At

5-5 in the second set, that will have contributed to it. But now they

are beginning to enjoy this. Not easy now with shadows on the

court as well. A good hole they are. The momentum

had slipped a bit. This would have been a tough game to have lost. Well

held by Marianne Dom Inglot. Great Britain hoping to win a sixth

successive Davis Cup tie. -- well held by Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot.

Buying the efforts of Andy Murray, not just Andy Murray but the whole

team, and the spirit of teamwork. They have turned themselves into

such a strong unit here. And if they can just get through this one, Andy

Murray will no doubt return for the next. Understandably electing to

take some time off with the US Open and Rio Olympics per head. -- up

ahead. This centre, built in 1954 in the centre of Belgrade. Build-out of

stone. A big renovation in 2011. Nice change up there, in that

server. Miss timed by Dom Inglot. Krajinovic has grown in strength.

138 in singles and pretty much a nonexistent doubles rank.

He left home to go and live in Florida at the age of 13 to

concentrate on his tennis. In usual second serve. A bit like

the old days. Playing away from home used to be fraught with

difficulties, throwing coins onto the floor. David Lloyd used to pick

it up. I'm not suggesting there was foul

play. In telling you, they used to be! Nadal. -- there used to be. No

doubt. Leon Smith, counselling his men over

there. Busy schedule this year, with the Rio Olympics. Kyle Edmund as the

call-out, on the final list to join Andy Murray and Jamie Murray. They

will be the doubles unit. Kyle will play the singles alongside Andy. The

6th of August, the tennis starts. Always tennis players embracing the

chance to play at the Olympic Games. Los Angeles, 1984, just an

exhibition event. 88, full metal support. Continuing from Barcelona,

1992. Given the efficiency, tennis players have. Not so the golfers, it

would seem. I think that will change. Strange comments coming out

from the Gulf. We will see if this is a one-time thing, or it will

improve next time around. They have two shots at it. There are the

changeover, Zimonjic doing all the tactical talk to his partner. The

British team, you just want them to combine a little bit better. Jamie

Murray turning off, Dom Inglot going off. Now, they have one chance. Able

to combine as a unit, on the terms. -- turn.

That is what they are looking for, if you solid points in a row. The

few solid points in a row. Doing a lot of talking towards the

British bench, Jamie Murray, at the moment.

Suddenly break point, after the forehand error deep.

That is a big opportunity from Jamie Murray. I think he was struggling to

see the ball a little bit. He had his dark glasses on, until about 20

minutes ago. Coming from the light, into the

shade, just as the players are taking their rackets back to hit.

You get a bit worried, the British team not taking their chances.

And now serving through shadow. If the ball comes back, not much time

for the eyesight to adjust before playing the volley or half volley.

Hard enough to see it on the TV screen, let alone Davis Cup.

A couple of volleys from Dom Inglot. They are both on the baseline, that

is where you need to be getting, more chance of winning the rally

than going the other way. That is a very fine hulled,

considering he was having difficulty seeing the ball coming out of the

sun, into the shadows. Jamie Murray chatting to the umpire, not sure

what that is about. Somebody at the back? Reflection? Could be anything.

Definitely travel by something, Jamie Murray, in the last few games.

If the umpire has somebody in mind, you could take the nine drummers and

the brass section, then tell them to quieten. Not playing at their best

of the British team, you feel if they can get somewhere back to their

best, they could win this quite comfortably. Not combining as a

unit. One has played pretty well, the other has dropped off. When one

hits David Bell, then the other dozen follow-up. The teamwork is not

quite been there. But they are still with serve. Don't want to get

involved in the tie-breaker, if they can avoid it.

That is a nice combination. Wonderful timing from Dom Inglot.

Taking this into space, leaving his racket behind it. Not hitting it too

hard. That was a bit close there. Good

start to this game, though. Fantastic volley from Jamie Murray.

Got some string on it. Ended up a very decent length.

What a cross. Good combination. Perfect time to cross. Find it

exactly right. Cannot believe you went for that, at

that point. Virtual set point. Remember the backhand, stabbing away

at 4-4 in the second set. He does believe he's going to make the

shots. That is beautifully done again. Could have messed that

backhand up. Keeping it really tight. Short swing, very strong

anyway. Two break point saved. He loves it.

Fantastic. So quick, you could hardly see it. What happened? The

reflex is. Came at him so fast. Third break point against the

Zimonjic serve. when you are serving, you want to

look at it. Certainly the surface breaking up.

Jamie Murray does have the ability, the hand eye coordination to get the

full download. That is the key in doubles. Another opportunity, to his

partner, Dom Inglot. It is a double fault. That is the

way he lost his serve in the first set. Having played so valiantly to

keep his team in the game, what a horrible way for it to go. Not so

happy now. Great Britain serving Faure 2-1

serve -- set lead. Dom Inglot, this Londoner of Polish descent, strong,

he will not leave anything in the locker here.

A spectacular game, up to this point. Backing up the break with

some heat. Three set points. What way to it. Massive kick serve.

Second serve ace. 2-1. What is -- a response to that second set

tie-break. STUDIO: Certainly that game was key,

breaking Zimonjic's serve. What a match we have had, now completely

even. Digging themselves out of a hole at 15-40. Unbelievable double

fault, from their most experienced guy on the court. You would not have

expected that. The serve to win. Jamie had to have a big hole that

1-1. A key game. Then Dom Inglot held from 0-30. Big cold at the

start, for the momentum of the match. It has totally changed. Jamie

Murray looked a bit unsettled. Not sure what was going on. Eventually

they did break, 3-4. He does not have the ability to have the top

screenshot. They block return gets it down to the feet of the server.

What we have been the thing is the body language. The Serbians getting

fired up. The British pair getting down on themselves. They have to

impose themselves in the next set. It is the consistency, and Dominic

and Jamie getting frustrated, flashes of good stuff, not stringing

it altogether. That set May settle them down. Surprising that Zimonjic

double-faulted. Felt like it would be the same situation, 0-40, in the

second set, they did not get it, the Serbians' have their tails up. You

did worry about it is a bit. We saw Andy Murray, but he gets terribly

nervous watching Jamie. Probably watching from the safety of the

locker room. And he's very conscious, if he is in shock, Jamie

can see in getting agitated, does not particularly help. When Jamie is

watching Andy, he is so calm. They are in front again, one set of

weights in this crucial doubles match. Back to John and Andy.

COMMENTATOR: The noise continues, so that this excellent doubles match.

Britain 2-1 up. Some of the numbers. Strange sort of set. It was in the

British team's hands. Not playing the points well enough until they

got the combination going, in that one game, they both played well at

the same time. That was the key. They have swept the court. Did not

exactly time that right. Ironic, it is the Zimonjic serve

that the British team have had the most test. The reason, in my

opinion, Krajinovic never crosses. When Jamie Murray hits that plans

return, under no pressure. He knows he has the whole area to aim at.

Krajinovic is not poaching. They have broken him a couple of times.

Not getting help from the man in your picture went after the net.

That is the problem for the 17. -- for the Serbian team.

Krajinovic trained with Nick Bollettieri in America, from the age

of 13. Dom Inglot went to the University of Virginia, which is a

college powerhouse in tennis. He has not come on as much as people

thought, Krajinovic. Apparently got some huge contracts. I am not saying

that is the reason why he went off. The money coming in. Has not made

the breakthrough yet that a lot of people expected. Obviously very

young, still. 24. That is young, into Dave Max Evans. -- into Dave's

terms. Here we go, right away, break point. Can judge out of nothing.

Krajinovic ambling in. The first step was no way, way behind the

service line. Why not? Dom Inglot showing some

grand stroke action. Down the line, break of serve out of nothing. That

happened quickly. That second serve was so slow, it gave him the time to

smack the second, getting the Textbook doubles. Dom Inglot, never

won doubles in Davis Cup. Losing on his only two previous appearances,

despite playing well. Here is the opportunity.

He was lucky there. No communication between the two players. Yours,

yours, I better take it! And beautiful. -- beautiful return.

But he is standing there like a statue. There is no point if you are

not going to move occasionally. They know they have three quarters of the

court on these returns of serve. He has to make a move every now and

then. Otherwise you have to keep hitting

shots like that. Which are pretty good, but...

But how is this? Look at this half-volley. Sweet as you like.

The half-volley there are, he let that one go. He did not expect his

partner to be getting this one. He had to cover almost the whole court.

A fantastic half-volley again. The trouble is, he is having to play a

lot more of these then he would like to. Excellent hands. Still a break

to the British pairing. We just mention that Dom Inglot has played

two and lost two. It makes it sound like he has not done a good job but

you realise who he has played both times. The Bryans, both times. In

San Diego in 2014, at the baseball stadium he played with Colin

Fleming, and they lost in four sets. Then he played with Jamie Murray and

they lost in Glasgow, 9-7 in the fifth. The Bryans have a combined

226 doubles titles between them. It is ridiculous. So always set fair,

and Leon Smith will be saying, more of the same. Put pressure on, and

let's keep going. Doing great, lads. That is exactly right. When you are

up, don't make things complicated. He is a very experienced captain and

he will not be saying too much. Keep it ticking over.

Jamie Murray, world number five now, number one back in April. To top the

rankings in your chosen profession, to be number one in the world, that

is pretty good. And he got there ahead of his brother. I think that

will happen in singles one day. They should really have a

walkie-talkie with your pieces, shouldn't they? --

No doubt of this is the weaker of the two service. If you look at it

in isolation. But Jamie Murray defends with some of the best hands

you will see. -- weaker of the two serves.

But the returners always have this serve in the site. Focusing on Dom

Inglot to keep changing the view in the forecourt. Is he going to move

left or right, is he going to stay? At this stage in the match, they

cannot afford to make mistakes like that. A good chance to go up 15-30.

And that changing view from the British pair the whole time. Making

it so difficult to return, particularly for Zimonjic there. Dom

Inglot moving left, right, staying, up, back, the left-handed serve

kicking in sometimes. That was one game closer to the finishing line

for them. The number one nation at the moment

in the Davis Cup rankings is Great Britain, the current holders. Back

in 2010, their opponents today, Serbia won in this very city. Coming

back from 2-1 down to defeat the French. And the honour of winning

their fifth tie and following Novak Djokavic onto court was Viktor

Troicki. Tipsarevic was dropped on the final day and Troicki came in,

captain's pick, and won in straight sets against Michael Llodra. I

wonder what will happen tomorrow. Captains play such an important

role. Nowhere else in men's tennis to see the captain having such an

input. Some players like to be spoken to, others like to be left

alone. Absolutely, and you judge it on their personalities.

Excellent hold. Very solid on the server. -- on the serve.

This is where they have had the most success, the British team. They were

broken in the eighth game. Of the previous set. They have had chances.

Lost on a tie-break. He needs to tell his partner to

move, to cross. Jamie Murray has been getting in the groove on the

service, you need to change it up. He crossed! Marry just catching it a

little bit late. That is good doubles. -- Jamie Murray.

Seriously! Why would you go for that? That is such bad play. He

could easily have got back and put up a skyscraper Labe. On such a big

point. -- skyscraper lob. Dom Inglot now with the whip hand,

seeing the ball on the return. Possibly a hip issue for Zimonjic.

Two hours and 20 minutes of a match, probably an hour's practice the

forehand. 40 years of age, it certainly does not get easier. This

man with vast experience which he will try to bring to bear here but

it is difficult with Ingle at serving. You may or may not get a

chance. -- with Dom Inglot serving. With Jamie, you generally get a

chance to knock it back, but his hands are so good.

Every tie is a home tie. With Stirling University there, it really

is a home comfort when you are a long way from home.

Two very good volleys from Jamie Murray.

Pulled the racket heads down to sharply.

Very cross with himself. I think he knew where that was going. Almost

had too much time here. That would have cost him a few thousand pounds

at Wimbledon. That was a much better serve. Into

the body. So they know, the big server, Dom

Inglot, will put pedal to the metal in the next game whatever. Good

start. A battle of reflexes between Jamie

Murray and Zimonjic. A little treat there. Just a point away from asking

a question of Inglot and Jamie Murray.

Where did he play that from? Four or five feet behind his own service

line, we were amazed when Roger Federer would casually stroll in and

play half volleys. Now it is awake, and down comes the

umpire to check it. Jamie Murray has no doubt.

Leon Smith would be happy enough for it to finish here.

SUE BARKER: Great Britain will serve for this match. Just to warn you

we're going to have to move channels in just a minute or so to make way

for the BBC News. The end of this match may be over on BBC Two. We

will give you further warning. Did you get nervous when you were

serving out yourself? Do you think Dom Inglot will be? I think you

will. This is the chance for his first Davis Cup title match. He will

be trying to calm himself down. It will be the old cliche, but it is

one point at the time. You visualise where the serve is going and you try

to block out the rest as much as you can. But this is a big match for

both British players. Dom Inglot, he will want to get his first win down.

He is certainly eager. A bit too eager. He took a nice, deep breath

there. Great Britain in this quarterfinal

of the Davis Cup. Serving for a 2-1 lead.

SUE BARKER: Huge apologies, we are having to leave this match here on

BBC One but we will pick up on BBC Two in just a few seconds so if you

want to watch the
