First Round: Canada v Great Britain - Day 2

:00:38. > :00:43.It's Great Britain against Canada in the opening round of this year's

:00:44. > :00:47.Davis Cup and it is all even after the opening day which means, as we

:00:48. > :00:50.have seen so often in the past, the dot balls becomes the pivotal match

:00:51. > :00:54.of the tie and this one is a tough one to call. While the action has

:00:55. > :00:58.been heating up inside the arena, outside in Ottawa it has been a

:00:59. > :01:04.chilly -6, which means that Canadians can enjoy another of their

:01:05. > :01:08.great passions, ice-skating down the famous canal which stretches for

:01:09. > :01:12.almost five miles. The question is, will Great Britain's up speed

:01:13. > :01:16.skating on thin ice after the doubles today? Yesterday there was a

:01:17. > :01:26.patriotic atmosphere inside the stadium but mixed fortunes for the

:01:27. > :01:29.British team. Great passion and enthusiasm for the Davis Cup. A

:01:30. > :01:44.great start. Britain's number one. Outstanding. How good was that?! Dan

:01:45. > :01:48.Evans has put Great Britain 2-0 up. A brilliant performance from Dan

:01:49. > :02:01.Evans. That is it horrific start for Great Britain. The points go to

:02:02. > :02:08.Great Britain. Good holes. -- good hold. Concerning for the Canadians.

:02:09. > :02:16.Pospisil, stealing the opening set. It is all tied. Canada are two sets

:02:17. > :02:20.up. That is fabulous. Devastating, as Dan Evans was in the opening

:02:21. > :02:26.rally, they are locked at one apiece. Two comfortable victories,

:02:27. > :02:29.one for Great Britain and one for Canada. Dan Evans was simply superb

:02:30. > :02:33.but Kyle Edmund, incredibly disappointing. He said in his press

:02:34. > :02:37.conference after that he was not good enough, pretty dismal by his

:02:38. > :02:42.own standards. He was close to tears. Which means that we come down

:02:43. > :02:47.to this crucial doubles match. Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot up against

:02:48. > :02:55.the very experienced Daniel Nestor, 44 years of age, playing his 55th

:02:56. > :02:57.Davis Cup match, and Vasek Pospisil. He has got confidence and momentum

:02:58. > :03:01.in his favour after yesterday's victory. That is what we are looking

:03:02. > :03:07.forward to today. And joining me in the studio, Jamie and John. I say

:03:08. > :03:14.that this is a tough one to call but on paper it looks at. Very tough.

:03:15. > :03:18.Pospisil and Nestor have played quite a bit of tennis together. They

:03:19. > :03:22.took a bronze medal in the Rio Olympics. People know a lot about

:03:23. > :03:27.Nestor, so much experience. Sometimes in a doubles match, if

:03:28. > :03:31.they are outdoors or on clay, you can maybe take someone as a

:03:32. > :03:34.favourite but this court and this match, it will be so quick it will

:03:35. > :03:44.come down to a few points. Very hard to call. And Nestor, when you look

:03:45. > :03:49.at his record, multiple Grand Slam champion, but at 44, is he still a

:03:50. > :03:53.force? He is. Maybe not as much as he was a few years ago but he is a

:03:54. > :03:57.fabulous doubles player. He has been there and done it in every

:03:58. > :04:03.competition. This service, I'm sure, will help them. The physicality will

:04:04. > :04:07.not come into it. He is backed up by a partner with a big serve. The only

:04:08. > :04:10.thing I would say that we can almost guarantee is that there will be

:04:11. > :04:14.tie-breakers. If there are not, I will be shocked. I agree with Jamie,

:04:15. > :04:20.this is that this match to call from the beginning, and the way that we

:04:21. > :04:28.have seen how fastest courses -- court is, it will come down to a

:04:29. > :04:33.couple of points. A fast court and we have Dom The Bomb for Britain. He

:04:34. > :04:36.has benefited from the run the British team has had for the last

:04:37. > :04:42.couple of years. We have seen the damage that he can do outdoors, but

:04:43. > :04:46.on this court, if he serves well, I think that is probably one way the

:04:47. > :04:52.British team can put pressure on the Canadians, because if the Canadian

:04:53. > :04:55.star to think, we do not have much chance of breaking Dom, they will

:04:56. > :05:00.focus on Jamie's served and that could have an impact. And we saw

:05:01. > :05:04.them blossom by winning that first match against Serbia. Dom had been

:05:05. > :05:07.in close matches before, represent an Great Britain, but getting that

:05:08. > :05:14.win is something really important. It was. In some ways you felt sorry

:05:15. > :05:20.for Dom because he is one heck of a doubles player but in the British

:05:21. > :05:26.team, there was a certain person called Andy Murray who was in his

:05:27. > :05:32.way. And now Andy has taken arrest, he has got his wish. He is an

:05:33. > :05:36.excellent doubles player. The poor umpire, he is having to look up a

:05:37. > :05:40.long way at four very tall man. Jamie has tremendous experience on

:05:41. > :05:45.the court and he will bring that to play. I think he will. Six wins in a

:05:46. > :05:48.row, a slightly different feel, not playing with his brother, that

:05:49. > :05:51.obviously brings a different dimension. And I guess the difficult

:05:52. > :05:57.thing as well is that the only time he plays with Dom is in the Davis

:05:58. > :06:00.Cup matches, so they know each other personally, but it is not likely

:06:01. > :06:04.have a sustained on court partnership where they know exactly

:06:05. > :06:11.where each other is going to go and what they will do at certain times.

:06:12. > :06:15.At 44 years old, to still be able to do this, Daniel, that is an

:06:16. > :06:21.achievement. Unbelievable. The last time they played in this arena was

:06:22. > :06:24.1994 and he played in that match. It is funny because the captain was

:06:25. > :06:29.saying, I don't know how many more times he can go one. If you don't

:06:30. > :06:33.know, you are the one who picks! To have that sort of Rickard and

:06:34. > :06:37.experience, it will be a big story out there in Ottawa. The crowd

:06:38. > :06:42.reaction to Nestor is going to be more immense than it was yesterday.

:06:43. > :06:46.You are absolutely right. He is a big star out there and the rippers

:06:47. > :06:50.and his country every year. He is always available and is just a

:06:51. > :06:54.tremendous player. Daniel Nestor has been successful with all of his

:06:55. > :06:59.partners over the year. It shows you the class that he brings to the

:07:00. > :07:04.table. We just saw Jamie Murray in the picture there, and yes, you look

:07:05. > :07:08.at the servers on the court and he has the weakest in terms of power

:07:09. > :07:14.but Jimmy is a precision server. On this court, I think his serve will

:07:15. > :07:23.help. Again, I cannot see anything other than tie-breakers. And Jamie

:07:24. > :07:27.will be all over the net. That is what impresses me, how fast he is

:07:28. > :07:31.around the net. We will be looking out to see how many opportunities

:07:32. > :07:37.Dom can give Jamie to get involved. It will be difficult, no matter how

:07:38. > :07:43.good you return, it will be difficult to be consistent, and Dom

:07:44. > :07:48.likes to be consistent and take a big swing on that return. So it

:07:49. > :07:53.could be a duck for the first four Rose? I think that is what we saw in

:07:54. > :07:57.Kyle's met yesterday, he was on the back foot so much. He prefers a

:07:58. > :08:00.slower court, but he was not being given the time. This is probably

:08:01. > :08:06.faster than anything these players have played on in years. It is the

:08:07. > :08:13.fastest court I can remember in any Davis Cup tie in the last ten years.

:08:14. > :08:23.I guess when you have Milos Raonic and shatter the love, Nestor and

:08:24. > :08:25.Pospisil, why not? -- Milos Raonic and Shapovalov. Jamie Murray is

:08:26. > :08:30.almost perfect for that because we have seen his forehand, so money

:08:31. > :08:35.times, it he punches the return and is back and is also a short swing.

:08:36. > :08:43.We will see two different returners. One of them is sort of a block,

:08:44. > :08:46.getting the ball is back, and the other will go for the power shot if

:08:47. > :08:50.he gets a return. It will be difficult. The one thing that

:08:51. > :08:55.impressed me with Vasek Pospisil yesterday was his body language

:08:56. > :09:00.compared to Kyle Edmund. We wanted Kyle to engage with the match, but

:09:01. > :09:04.Pospisil, after he got over the injury, was jumping up and down,

:09:05. > :09:11.fist pumping, and I think if he does that today, he could lift his team

:09:12. > :09:14.even more. It was his action and energy yesterday that was really

:09:15. > :09:18.dominating the match. At the start, you could see the tension was there,

:09:19. > :09:24.and as he relaxed, and he saw he was ahead at suddenly all that energy

:09:25. > :09:27.that was tension was no seriously positive energy that helped in the

:09:28. > :09:34.match. We have seen the combination between him and Nestor today because

:09:35. > :09:38.Nestor, you will not see much of him, but at certain times you will

:09:39. > :09:41.see Pospisil get fired up. That works really well because sometimes

:09:42. > :09:47.it both players are doing that, you can be burning too much energy. And

:09:48. > :09:52.there is the captain. You know him? Yes. Not well. He has been the Davis

:09:53. > :10:01.Cup captain for a number of years now. He has always had a lot of

:10:02. > :10:07.experience, about 16 years. The longest captain in history. He has a

:10:08. > :10:12.good team. Without Milos Raonic, if they had all their players in, they

:10:13. > :10:18.could be a formidable team in the next few years. This is so pivotal,

:10:19. > :10:21.and as we have seen so often in the past, the doubles match becomes so

:10:22. > :10:25.important because it gives momentum going into the final day. Knowing

:10:26. > :10:31.Kyle Edmund, and how he would pick himself up going into a fifth match,

:10:32. > :10:40.it could be tricky for him and for Lyon. Obviously for the British team

:10:41. > :10:43.yesterday, after how well downplayed, you would say that they

:10:44. > :10:48.really have a good chance of beating them up. But now, let's say things

:10:49. > :10:54.go well and Britain are 2-1 up, Dan Evans against Pospisil, there is a

:10:55. > :11:00.chance. But Kyle Edmund is, he is in a position where he might have

:11:01. > :11:06.played one of the matches he needs to remember. There was also, when

:11:07. > :11:09.Evans was playing Shapovalov, he was the favourite and it is tough when

:11:10. > :11:13.you're playing somebody who has not been to lose. Kyle Edmund will have

:11:14. > :11:16.that on his back because everyone will expecting to put in a

:11:17. > :11:20.performance. He does not like the court, we know that. For the British

:11:21. > :11:24.team, that is a worst-case scenario, for it to go down to the fifth

:11:25. > :11:28.rubber. That is why the British fans out there will be in full voice.

:11:29. > :11:34.They know how important it is and it is important for Jamie to really

:11:35. > :11:38.talk to Dom, because there will be some tight situations, tense

:11:39. > :11:42.situations. Absolutely, and Jamie Murray is so experienced now. He was

:11:43. > :11:49.number one in the world, he won Grand Slams. Him and Andy are a

:11:50. > :11:52.great partnership. As Jamie said, we do not see them very often other

:11:53. > :11:59.than at the Grand Slams, the Davis Cup matches. But they have good

:12:00. > :12:02.chemistry about them, and they are blessed in the doubles department,

:12:03. > :12:08.Great Britain, whether Andy plays or not there are a lot of players who

:12:09. > :12:13.can comment and follow these if others get injured. We have been

:12:14. > :12:17.lucky with the doubles. And as far as Jamie is concerned, he was world

:12:18. > :12:23.number one last year, so much success with Bruno Soares as well.

:12:24. > :12:28.He is coming off a great 2016. It could not have been any better. A

:12:29. > :12:32.golden time. I remember speaking to him in Glasgow before the semifinal

:12:33. > :12:36.against Argentina and thinking, the year before against Australia, we

:12:37. > :12:39.were saying, you have had such an amazing run, and I could hardly

:12:40. > :12:44.believe that a year on, he would have taken it to a whole new level,

:12:45. > :12:48.reaching world number one. An incredible achievement. For Jamie,

:12:49. > :12:52.this is a great manage at the right time, because he got to the final in

:12:53. > :12:56.Sydney and he had a tough loss. He would not have been expecting to

:12:57. > :13:00.lose that. He lost in the first round in the Australian Open. This

:13:01. > :13:04.is the right time. Those things happen, but Jamie and Andy have

:13:05. > :13:17.given so much, in some ways I think that in this match Jamie, he really

:13:18. > :13:21.treasures being on court. He does. And when he plays with Andy and his

:13:22. > :13:25.Davis Cup matches, he likes to play the leader. It is his doubles court

:13:26. > :13:33.and Andy accept that. The older brother is was the boss. OK. -- the

:13:34. > :13:39.older brother is always the boss. John Lloyd is on his way up. Let's

:13:40. > :13:45.join Chris for this crucial doubles. COMMENTATOR: Crucial indeed. Always

:13:46. > :13:49.pivotal, the doubles rubber. Daniel Joseph of France in the chair. He

:13:50. > :13:54.has a bit of history were Daniel Nestor. At the Olympic Games in Rio.

:13:55. > :15:45.Pospisil to begin. A love start for Canada. It will be

:15:46. > :15:49.interesting, John, with the speed of the court, how many returns are made

:15:50. > :15:54.when opportunities come, and who takes advantage. It is going to be

:15:55. > :16:03.under the wire. It is difficult to see too many breaks of serve. You

:16:04. > :16:11.just cannot see it on this court. It is so quick, it is lightning. One

:16:12. > :16:17.throws in a double fault, a chip return, and suddenly it gets tight.

:16:18. > :16:24.These are all experienced players on these early night this court. --

:16:25. > :16:25.these are all experienced doubles players on this court, no rookies

:16:26. > :16:30.around. A confident start on the second

:16:31. > :16:55.server. Interesting that they are using the

:16:56. > :17:02.I formation. Before they have even seen the returns. They have easily

:17:03. > :17:06.done home work and have realised they have the best chance of coming

:17:07. > :17:14.off the return of serve. Pospisil, in the I formation. The Wimbledon

:17:15. > :17:19.champion three years ago, the American Jack Sock. Don Inglot, the

:17:20. > :17:24.only man on the court without a Grand Slam title to his name. -- Dom

:17:25. > :18:03.Inglot. Jamie has three, like his brother.

:18:04. > :18:34.Love hold-up is. -- love hold a piece. Don Inglot and Nestor know

:18:35. > :18:40.each other pretty well. They have played each other up teen times,

:18:41. > :18:42.these permutations. Jamie Murray has only lost three times, once with Dom

:18:43. > :19:13.Inglot. We don't see that many winners of

:19:14. > :19:17.the forehand from Jamie Murray's return. He took that one nice and

:19:18. > :19:29.early. A very flat forehand with a lot of pace. A good start.

:19:30. > :19:40.That's a pity. I was thinking before when Jamie Murray went to return,

:19:41. > :19:44.they both use the backhand lob. He pulled it so far, and Don Inglot

:19:45. > :20:13.does it. I was not expecting that. It was very successful.

:20:14. > :20:25.What you think of the socks, Jamie? It's a good look. If it gets you out

:20:26. > :20:37.of there in 44, I would do whatever it takes.

:20:38. > :20:45.He has won 91 titles, from 150 finals. That is a lot of tennis. A

:20:46. > :21:06.lot of different partners. Three comfortable holds. You do not

:21:07. > :21:09.want to be the weak link. You don't want to feel like the opponents are

:21:10. > :21:15.going to break your server. Important to start well. Especially

:21:16. > :21:20.on this court, because you can see straightaway in the first few

:21:21. > :21:23.minutes that this is going to be... The singles, it is smash and grab

:21:24. > :21:28.tennis, never mind the doubles. You can multiply that by ten. It will be

:21:29. > :21:35.so important when the match goes on, you will have to be so patient in

:21:36. > :21:38.your mind, so committed to the plan, committed to your shots, believing

:21:39. > :21:41.that at some point you are the breakthrough. There will be times

:21:42. > :21:50.where actually the combination of good play from the opponent and the

:21:51. > :21:53.surface cancels you out. I agree. There will be games where you go

:21:54. > :21:56.from side to side without doing anything on the return. Mentally,

:21:57. > :22:02.you have to make sure you keep the focus up. Take care of business on

:22:03. > :22:07.your side of the court. If you get fortunate, and try to break, great,

:22:08. > :22:11.but mentally you have to really take care on your own service game and

:22:12. > :22:16.not worry that you are making too many returns because quite frankly,

:22:17. > :22:24.there will not be too many returns of serve, period, in this match.

:22:25. > :22:26.Inglot to serve, the most inexperienced on the court. Just his

:22:27. > :23:13.fourth robber in the Davis Cup. He is the tallest on court, at six

:23:14. > :23:25.foot five. The shortest is six foot three.

:23:26. > :23:59.Nestor and Murray. Pospisil in the middle at six foot four.

:24:00. > :24:09.133mph, that is why he is called the bomber. A lot of room around the

:24:10. > :24:14.baseline. He will have to be careful here. A good recovery after the

:24:15. > :25:14.double fault. The commitment is so important. Any

:25:15. > :27:08.slight mis-hit is going to get gobbled up by the net players.

:27:09. > :27:15.A comfortable hold for the Canadians. John, will they look to

:27:16. > :27:18.get after Dom Inglot as he is the most inexperienced on the court? It

:27:19. > :27:23.seems like he has been part of the team for so long, but we have seen

:27:24. > :27:28.him sidelined, supporting mostly. Well, I think there will be so few

:27:29. > :27:32.of these opportunities, but if they were both on the baseline in a row

:27:33. > :27:37.lake, and they have the opportunity to go for one player or the other at

:27:38. > :27:41.net, they would go and Dom Inglot. Jamie Murray is one of the best

:27:42. > :27:46.volleyer is in the world. I don't think that Dom is a bad volleyer,

:27:47. > :27:51.but he is slightly weaker. When the court is this fast, it is very

:27:52. > :27:58.difficult to go after that aspect of a player. You might say that

:27:59. > :28:05.Nestor's forehand volley is worse than his backhand. It is very

:28:06. > :28:11.difficult to go for a stroke like that. It is difficult when the

:28:12. > :28:20.course speed is like this, to go after any weakness other than the

:28:21. > :28:22.return of serve. So just the double fault, the only point conceded by

:28:23. > :28:56.the Brits on serve so far. An excellent return. I was about to

:28:57. > :29:02.say, when you're playing in a match like this, at this speed, when any

:29:03. > :29:10.player misses a first serve, and a second serve comes at you, it is

:29:11. > :29:13.almost like, OK, I need to make this return somehow, because you are not

:29:14. > :30:11.going to make much on the first service.

:30:12. > :30:18.Great hands from Jamie Murray, twice in a row key probably thought

:30:19. > :30:28.Dominic Inglot would take that out of the air. -- he probably thought.

:30:29. > :30:47.No Hawk-Eye for this match. Needs to be recalibrated. Not fixed yet.

:30:48. > :30:54.That serve, John, backs up what you said at the start, Jamie Murray, Les

:30:55. > :30:58.pace on his serve but see the way the court took that out just a

:30:59. > :31:17.fraction. -- less pace on his serve. You seldom see lobes and the return

:31:18. > :31:25.of serve these days, you mentioned how good Jamie's lob is. Should they

:31:26. > :31:29.play more that way? Players stand so close to the net that it must be an

:31:30. > :31:36.aggressive lob, if it is floating they are such good athletes that you

:31:37. > :31:40.have no chance. Excellent. There's that short backswing I was talking

:31:41. > :31:46.about, and the return of serve, just blocking it. When you have pace

:31:47. > :33:16.coming at you like that it is a perfect return of serve.

:33:17. > :33:47.That might be the longest rally we will see in the entire match!

:33:48. > :34:51.Three volley errors in a row from Pospisil. First break point.

:34:52. > :35:00.Complete miss sitting on the last one. He got lucky, was nervous on

:35:01. > :35:08.the first two overheads, didn't really snap them away and the last

:35:09. > :35:16.one, called it late. You were asking if the Canadians would target

:35:17. > :35:17.Inglot. In this game the British players are targeting Pospisil, no

:35:18. > :36:18.question! Big roar, first mini battle to

:36:19. > :36:26.Canada. Great atmosphere, home advantage.

:36:27. > :36:33.He looks so calm, Daniel Nestor, 44 years old, all the experience, he

:36:34. > :36:39.has been there, got all the T-shirts, great to have on your

:36:40. > :36:51.team. The other thing we didn't mention at the start, in the British

:36:52. > :36:56.camp, won the player was heavily involved in Nestor's development.

:36:57. > :37:02.I'm going back 25 years but he obviously played a part in the

:37:03. > :37:07.development and success of Nestor. It might be close to seven, eight,

:37:08. > :37:12.nine years that he has been in the British game, think of how many

:37:13. > :37:16.times double player has beaten Daniel Nestor in one of the big

:37:17. > :37:24.tournaments, perhaps he will say to him, can you stop telling him what

:37:25. > :37:27.you told me first, come on! And most of them have actually played some

:37:28. > :37:40.tournaments of Daniel Nestor as well on the way. The most recent, as you

:37:41. > :38:21.mentioned. It is a higher ball toss, isn't it?

:38:22. > :38:37.He doesn't hold back on his second serve, Dominic Inglot, goes for it.

:38:38. > :38:49.It's a good long second serve after a double fault. Such good use of

:38:50. > :38:53.pace from Jamie Murray. He almost just put his racket out and that

:38:54. > :40:28.volley went flying by, for a winner. That second serve, many would take

:40:29. > :40:34.that as their first. Just goes for it, picks a target, has the

:40:35. > :40:39.confidence, no matter what the score. Interesting in this type that

:40:40. > :40:43.Pospisil has the responsibility of trying to win three rubbers, as Andy

:40:44. > :40:49.Murray has done so magnificently in the last three years. A day off for

:40:50. > :41:01.Dan Evans and Kyle Edmund. They both played quick matches yesterday. You

:41:02. > :41:09.are right, it is tough enough doing that anyway but when you lack match

:41:10. > :41:15.play, as Pospisil has, to come in here with that responsibility, to

:41:16. > :41:19.play three matches, and having to win all three for Canada to go

:41:20. > :41:23.through, it is a big ask for him, that is Khan grow. -- that is for

:41:24. > :41:52.sure row. Number one in the world for the

:41:53. > :42:28.first time in 15 years ago. Roger Federer is aiming for that!

:42:29. > :42:37.Second love service game for Pospisil. Getting to the business

:42:38. > :42:40.end now. Maybe the scoreboard will be a key factor in this match

:42:41. > :42:48.because there is very little between them right now. From the British

:42:49. > :42:51.point of view so far very encouraging signs in the return

:42:52. > :42:57.games, when they have their racket on the ball they are making a lot of

:42:58. > :43:04.especially Inglot. We talked about and upstart, he seems to have locked

:43:05. > :43:10.in pretty early -- we talked about it at the start. This is such a

:43:11. > :43:13.mental match, so important not to be disheartened by that and stick

:43:14. > :43:18.around and be as fresh mentally because you never know when that

:43:19. > :43:23.chance comes, it might be a double fault. Pospisil almost missed smash

:43:24. > :43:29.a couple of games ago, you have to be razor-sharp, there is no time to

:43:30. > :43:30.be with anything. -- there is no time to be disappointed with

:43:31. > :43:52.anything. So, just 29 minutes, Jamie Murray

:43:53. > :45:35.serving to keep Great Britain in this opening set, 4-5.

:45:36. > :45:54.Only dropped one point on serve, Murray. Superb game. Lost his first

:45:55. > :46:01.couple of Grand Slam finals, says, he knows how his brother fields, and

:46:02. > :46:05.it lost his first four. -- he knows how his brother feels, Andy lost his

:46:06. > :46:38.first four. What is serve! Kim Jong-un what a

:46:39. > :46:44.serve. -- what a serve. So confident of going for the ace, getting a

:46:45. > :46:53.cheap point but that bodies serve is sometimes so effective. And the

:46:54. > :46:56.experience of Nestor, he is serving at a pace where it looks as if he

:46:57. > :47:00.will never miss a first serve and on this court he does not need to push

:47:01. > :47:24.it up to the boundary. Three love service game is in a row,

:47:25. > :47:29.there's so much talk about the top men's single player is not playing

:47:30. > :47:33.doubles, we have talked about the pivotal role in the Davis Cup but

:47:34. > :47:37.thereon not that many pairs any more because the Brian Brogan 's have

:47:38. > :47:42.given up playing Davis Cup, you are almost putting together a scratch

:47:43. > :47:47.pair at times -- the Bryan brothers have given up playing Davis Cup. It

:47:48. > :47:54.is fun when you see the top singles players playing doubles, even in the

:47:55. > :47:59.Masters events, watching them putting their singles game on the

:48:00. > :48:03.doubles court, they can all volley but it is just different and some

:48:04. > :48:08.adopt better than others. I have no doubt that if they played regularly

:48:09. > :48:15.they would all be forces and some like Andy Murray would be in the top

:48:16. > :48:21.four or five in the world, no question, if you play regularly. It

:48:22. > :48:29.gives you responsibility as well playing doubles, if you miss one

:48:30. > :48:35.shot your partner says don't worry, come on, move on, move on, it

:48:36. > :48:40.actually helps your singles frame of mind. Inglot's turn to try to stay

:48:41. > :48:51.in this opening set for Great Britain.

:48:52. > :48:58.What made you think they would be tie-breaks in this? Surprise,

:48:59. > :49:09.surprise, we are heading for one. Just the one break point in the set

:49:10. > :50:06.so far on the Nestor serve. Oh! He seemed to have read that

:50:07. > :50:12.serve so early, Nestor. Like he had a lot of time on that second serve.

:50:13. > :50:17.He also got the signal from Pospisil to say he was going to cross and

:50:18. > :50:37.that made him a bit more positive on the return, it certainly worked.

:50:38. > :50:49.So good! Martin Laurendeau, the Canadian captain, flew out of his

:50:50. > :51:35.seat! They have a set point. I still don't think he's going to

:51:36. > :51:50.take anything off his second serve, even after that.

:51:51. > :52:50.I think that was a smart adjustment, with a little bit of spin.

:52:51. > :52:58.Well held, really well held. He was tested severely on that point,

:52:59. > :53:14.Inglot. He certainly was, they were targeting him, Daniel Nestor was.

:53:15. > :53:21.The captain now for 13 years. Semifinalists in 2013, Canada, for

:53:22. > :53:23.the second time in their history. The first was in 1913. It was a long

:53:24. > :55:25.wait. First crack against the head. What a

:55:26. > :55:30.brilliant point from Inglot, not a bad serve and he did so well to get

:55:31. > :55:31.out of the way of that second ball and drill it straight back at

:55:32. > :55:52.Pospisil. Wasn't his best lob but it was good

:55:53. > :55:58.enough. That was a tight overhit. Not confident at all on that shot.

:55:59. > :56:36.Huge advantage now. Leon Smith not saying a word. What

:56:37. > :56:41.can you say? Not much. Just focus. 5-1 up and a break and you scared to

:56:42. > :57:05.breathe, almost. Keep it it is! Five set points for Great Britain,

:57:06. > :57:39.having saved one. Hawk-Eye might have been used on that serve.

:57:40. > :57:57.Seven points in a row. Comfortable break and Great Britain one said up.

:57:58. > :58:08.Canada was a lot to do. STUDIO: What an incredible turnaround, they were

:58:09. > :58:11.facing one set point and then they came back and won the tie-break

:58:12. > :58:15.comfortably so it's advantage Great Britain in this match and we'll be

:58:16. > :58:19.right back with it. Let's show you what is happening elsewhere. With

:58:20. > :58:24.the opening few days of the first round of the Davis Cup, so many

:58:25. > :58:29.matches, the top 16 nations all competing. Italy are leading

:58:30. > :58:35.Argentina, they are involved in the fifth and final set and it is 5-5 in

:58:36. > :58:40.that doubles match as Argentina tried to get back in the match as

:58:41. > :58:48.defending champions. Germany trailing 1-2, Belgium winning the

:58:49. > :58:54.doubles match, a lot of five set matches today, Australia completed

:58:55. > :58:57.their victory, the doubles match they won against the Czech Republic

:58:58. > :59:08.and John is in completed a win in the singles yesterday, and France

:59:09. > :59:11.have won the doubles. Herbert and Nicolas Mahut winning in straight

:59:12. > :59:15.sets so France will face the winner of the tie we are watching between

:59:16. > :59:26.Great Britain and Canada. Serbia also through. We talk about Daniel

:59:27. > :59:29.Nestor being 44, one of the Serbian players is even older, they have

:59:30. > :59:39.Djokovic in the singles as well. Croatia against Spain, 1-1 and

:59:40. > :59:46.that's in the fifth and final set. Lopez and Lopez one break of serve

:59:47. > :59:49.down in their match. That's what is happening elsewhere around the world

:59:50. > :59:54.in this opening round of the Davis Cup. Those are the stats for this

:59:55. > :00:00.opening set but I will tell you it all went down to the tie-break.

:00:01. > :00:05.Murray and Inglot got ahead and they have taken the opening set. As John

:00:06. > :00:10.Lloyd says we could see a few more tie-breaks so is going to be a

:00:11. > :00:19.Swatch! COMMENTATOR: Mentioning nomads and Dick, he and Nestor took

:00:20. > :00:29.three Grand Slam titles together, just take our chances when you can

:00:30. > :00:35.Zimonjic. The weaker of the two Canadians at the net, made some

:00:36. > :00:38.crucial errors, Inglot missed a couple of volley but but came back

:00:39. > :00:42.with a great shot to get Great Britain ahead in that tie-break and

:00:43. > :00:46.had some great shots against Pospisil. It's just keeping the

:00:47. > :00:52.concentration and taking the chances coming your way.

:00:53. > :01:00.Poor margins are so fine. The first set was about for two points, two

:01:01. > :01:07.break points, one for each team, and in the tie-break, the double break,

:01:08. > :01:12.not just one of them. 4-1, serving for Great Britain, that was the set.

:01:13. > :01:24.But it was so close. It really is. Nail-biting two play on -- to play

:01:25. > :01:28.in. And just a huge advantage, whoever wins this goes to- one up

:01:29. > :01:36.into tomorrow. Pospisil, having to play singles tomorrow. It is

:01:37. > :01:42.mammoth. Imagine the lift he would get from winning this doubles match,

:01:43. > :01:46.the left after that great win in the singles yesterday, another great win

:01:47. > :01:57.in the doubles. It would be the best result of all for Evans, but he

:01:58. > :01:58.would have no energy for it. Maria is serving first again for the

:01:59. > :03:03.British team. -- Murray. He is only lost four points on serve

:03:04. > :03:13.for Great Britain, four. In three of those in the last game of the set. A

:03:14. > :03:16.great serve again. So much movement, just moving away from the opponent's

:03:17. > :04:13.racket. He just missed the spot on both of

:04:14. > :04:18.those servers. It can show you what can happen when you are in that

:04:19. > :04:23.position. Fair play to the Canadians, making both returns.

:04:24. > :04:42.Break point. Wonderful, a wonderful lob. A bit of

:04:43. > :04:48.confusion between Inglot and Murray at the net. Canada bounce back. They

:04:49. > :04:59.certainly did, after a very poor tie-breaker. That focus, right back.

:05:00. > :06:39.It would do them the world of good, confidence wise.

:06:40. > :06:45.An excellent second serve. Just takes off on this court. It is so

:06:46. > :07:59.fast out there. Just as well he is six foot five.

:08:00. > :08:03.Don't be brave, just turn around. That looked like a bit of a message

:08:04. > :09:45.from Nestor. He didn't need to hit that quite so hard, I don't think.

:09:46. > :09:50.You normally see so much about in doubles, the quick exchanges at the

:09:51. > :10:07.net but because of the speed of the court, it few and far between.

:10:08. > :10:16.That it's huge. -- that is huge. Serving from a different end, too.

:10:17. > :11:18.He loves that second serve out wide. He is in control of the point, with

:11:19. > :11:21.an ace and two double faults in a row. It has got to go in here,

:11:22. > :11:43.surely. Try getting a rhythm against that.

:11:44. > :11:45.He will have to go and warm up again. There is a change of ends

:11:46. > :12:20.coming up out of this as well! On the scoreboard. Breaks of serve

:12:21. > :12:29.are gold dust. One little lapse of concentration, and it comes down

:12:30. > :12:37.from some might. That is being shown again, he hits it so well. Three

:12:38. > :12:43.consecutive aces out there already. Such a simple action as well, it is

:12:44. > :12:54.just pure strength find it but also the timing. He can throw a ball a

:12:55. > :12:57.country mile. It is just such a shame that they lost that break

:12:58. > :13:06.right at the start of the second set. It was just the wrong time,

:13:07. > :13:11.momentum wise. Still as fit as a fiddle at 44, Nestor. Amazing. His

:13:12. > :13:21.wife was in the crowd and I was thinking, she has been living out of

:13:22. > :13:26.a suitcase for about 25 years. Are you ever going to get a home? Are

:13:27. > :13:27.you ever are not going to travel 35 weeks of the year? Not a bad

:13:28. > :13:41.lifestyle, in some ways. He should have made that one. A

:13:42. > :16:10.third serve from Jamie Murray. Just three break in the match. --

:16:11. > :16:13.just three break points in the match. The modern-day

:16:14. > :16:50.communication... He could have got his revenge there,

:16:51. > :18:27.Dominic Inglot. Nestor turned around their very quickly.

:18:28. > :18:38.That is so clever. I wonder whether Inglot left this. I think he did. It

:18:39. > :18:42.looked like it was going to go out. Murray, broken at the start of this

:18:43. > :18:43.set but all of his other service games, he has only dropped two

:18:44. > :19:48.points. It is literally just the same

:19:49. > :19:56.pattern, pretty much, to the end of this match. Very few chances. There

:19:57. > :20:03.is a certain amount of drama because obviously this match, whoever wins

:20:04. > :20:08.it could win the tie. So there is a lot of pressure and the crowd can

:20:09. > :20:11.sense it. In terms of enjoyment of the match, there is not much to see

:20:12. > :20:16.at the moment. Clearly, there will be a couple of points where there

:20:17. > :20:20.will be reflex volleys and you will marvel at how quick they are but

:20:21. > :20:26.this core service does not really help a good men's doubles matches.

:20:27. > :20:30.You have to wait, and there will be a couple of points where you think,

:20:31. > :20:38.that is incredible, but the rest is just serving. One of the things that

:20:39. > :20:43.adds to that, nowadays the doubles, in the last five, six, seven years,

:20:44. > :20:47.has become much more professional. People are specialising only in

:20:48. > :20:52.doubles, so actually they are so good and automatic in the patterns,

:20:53. > :20:57.so on a course like this, that is so quick, they are always in the right

:20:58. > :20:59.place to shot the court down. That is why we are seeing very, very few

:21:00. > :22:59.rallies. Similar points. 19 is a much better call in doubles.

:23:00. > :23:04.No doubt. -- mine is a much better call.

:23:05. > :23:50.He is only dropped three points on serve, Pospisil. Three breaks on the

:23:51. > :26:07.Nestor serve, but the younger Canadian looks rock-solid.

:26:08. > :26:20.You can almost camp out there on that side on the second serve.

:26:21. > :26:38.The second double in the game. It is these sorts of happenings that turn

:26:39. > :26:41.it. I wonder whether it is the case that, given the break down, the

:26:42. > :26:46.concentration is not quite as sharp as it was in the first set. That

:26:47. > :26:55.maybe is the reason why he's going for a little bit more on the second

:26:56. > :26:58.serve any wars. -- van he was. That is just not playable, unless you

:26:59. > :27:21.guess. You cannot react to that. There is no time.

:27:22. > :27:29.I mention the fact that Nestor was the one they had a break point

:27:30. > :27:35.against. Since then, he has dropped one point on serve and that was a

:27:36. > :27:38.double fault. Everywhere you look, unless they serve double faults or

:27:39. > :27:45.make howling volley errors, it is tough to see a way back in. How do

:27:46. > :27:54.you go about getting a break? It is tough. You literally have to hang in

:27:55. > :27:57.there. Every time you get a second serve, try something. The first

:27:58. > :28:04.service almost unplayable but you have to keep this belief, this

:28:05. > :28:07.quickfire tennis. One points changes are set and you have to make sure

:28:08. > :28:14.you are sharp for if and when you get that opportunity. At the moment

:28:15. > :28:20.you can see, they are chatting about how to get into these points,

:28:21. > :28:22.because it is difficult. The Canadians are serving at the moment

:28:23. > :28:27.and they have got into this rhythm. How do you get back? One of the

:28:28. > :28:35.difficulties, the Canadians have tried it with Pops Ozil at the

:28:36. > :28:38.baseline, but it is very difficult to win the point at the back of the

:28:39. > :28:47.court on the surface. -- have tried it with Pops is ill.

:28:48. > :28:56.That is a head start. That was about the shortest second server I have

:28:57. > :29:07.seen today. I don't know what he was doing there. He was so early with

:29:08. > :29:19.that call. Inglot will be hoping for a second serve to have a go at.

:29:20. > :29:25.Wow. That might have been the best shot we have seen in this match. A

:29:26. > :29:33.beautiful 1-2 combination. A great serve from Nestor. Tight on the

:29:34. > :29:35.body. A tough option to take there, to go for that angle. A beautiful

:29:36. > :29:50.shot. And out of nowhere, three break

:29:51. > :29:53.points. Hard to believe. I don't know what they were talking about

:29:54. > :30:07.during the changeover but it worked! Please tell us after the match! That

:30:08. > :30:08.was the loudest shout of "out" from Jamie Murray, Inglot nearly jumped

:30:09. > :30:41.out of his skin! No Hawk-Eye. Kyle Edmund was the

:30:42. > :30:46.first hour of his chair. Leon Smith there as well. There is something

:30:47. > :30:51.wrong with Hawk-Eye, it had to be recalibrated, something to do with

:30:52. > :30:58.the change in the Court service, not sure but boy, do they needed there.

:30:59. > :31:08.What a huge moment. -- do they need it there.

:31:09. > :31:19.Still break point. Oh! He has got it! Not sure he scented that return

:31:20. > :31:27.exactly where he wanted but he will take it! That was not in what you

:31:28. > :31:39.might call the sweet spot of a racket. What an inspired game.

:31:40. > :31:43.Unbelievable game. Boy, do you miss Hawk-Eye when it is not there. It

:31:44. > :31:49.would have been nice to see a replay just so we could check that one out.

:31:50. > :32:58.It doesn't matter, deserved break. Did he touch the net with his

:32:59. > :33:00.racket? He must have done, because it sounded like the ball went into

:33:01. > :33:34.the net, it was all a bit of a blur. Great serve a gain from Jamie

:33:35. > :33:48.Murray. These next ten minutes will be huge now, given that they have

:33:49. > :33:56.broken back. Superb. That is just a fabulous shot from Nestor. Plenty of

:33:57. > :33:59.time, just made up his mind when he was going to go, rolled his wrist.

:34:00. > :34:26.-- where he was going to go. Started to get more of a look in on

:34:27. > :34:27.the return, these four man, after one hour and 20 minutes finding some

:34:28. > :34:53.sort of groove. -- these four men. Best return of the match? Yeah. On

:34:54. > :34:58.the deuce side Pospisil knows that Murray will be coming into his

:34:59. > :35:03.backhand every single time but Jamie Murray is happy to keep going there.

:35:04. > :35:47.Disappointed with the direction of the serve, Jamie Murray.

:35:48. > :35:55.Three games in a row for Great Britain. Terrific turnaround. You

:35:56. > :36:01.could not really see that happening, it looked like that set was over,

:36:02. > :36:04.the way the Canadians have been dominating on the serve, and to

:36:05. > :36:09.string together those three points in a row the way they did was so

:36:10. > :36:14.impressive, you might get that your partner hits one good shot and the

:36:15. > :36:18.second one, sometimes it is tough to come up with a good shot as well

:36:19. > :36:21.especially with the speed of this Court but they combined so well in

:36:22. > :36:37.that game, it was brilliant. Got to keep warm somehow, haven't

:36:38. > :37:04.you! The Stirling barmy Army, when it was

:37:05. > :37:05.held there, with the lower echelons coming through... Pospisil serving

:37:06. > :39:05.to stay in the second set. Hasn't been taken to 30 yet,

:39:06. > :39:08.Pospisil. So I think by default they will be attacking Nestor's serve.

:39:09. > :39:59.There's the chairman of the All-England Club.

:40:00. > :41:22.Tie-break minimum for Great Britain, second set. Broke Nestor last time

:41:23. > :41:29.but it is not like Nestor did much wrong, it was just an inspired game

:41:30. > :41:33.from Great Britain. So why not a game, but strange set, this one. Two

:41:34. > :41:50.breaks have occurred. And is one of those situations where

:41:51. > :41:54.you would be delighted not to win a point anywhere and serve that you

:41:55. > :42:05.want all your good points to come at once, so you are not relying on a

:42:06. > :42:08.lapse of concentration like a double fault or missed volley. It seems

:42:09. > :42:14.like they are getting a better strike on the return. The match is

:42:15. > :42:19.racing bike, we saw two quick matches yesterday for obvious

:42:20. > :42:26.reasons, they are quick between the points,, these guys. A trend we

:42:27. > :42:30.would like to see, fast between points. When you watch an adult, you

:42:31. > :42:37.can understand it. It's great to have him back though. Budget when

:42:38. > :42:41.you watch Rafael Nadal, though. It would be great if he was a bit

:42:42. > :42:45.quicker between points. The umpire would like him to do it, that's for

:42:46. > :43:19.sure. That one looked imminent, that one.

:43:20. > :43:31.Murray was convinced, he was celebrating the return .- that one

:43:32. > :43:33.looked in. Sometimes, you feel, as a player, Dom Inglot looked

:43:34. > :43:50.straightaway as if he had nailed that one.

:43:51. > :43:58.Of course on the regular doubles circuit, shall we say in college

:43:59. > :44:03.tennis they play the lead on the serve and they are trying to do that

:44:04. > :44:12.and there's been talk of doing that in the men's doubles but they

:44:13. > :44:17.haven't done it first. They do that in the US Junior tournament. It

:44:18. > :44:20.might be fun to add that to the game. Might take a generation

:44:21. > :44:25.though. He would stop automatically, wouldn't you. -- you would stop

:44:26. > :45:34.automatically, wouldn't you. It is in. He will be feeling it now,

:45:35. > :45:39.Nestor, broken last time. A wonderful turn. He's had a few had

:45:40. > :45:45.connections in this game, Inglot. Among the best of them. Where might

:45:46. > :46:03.we be if that one earlier in the game had not been called out?

:46:04. > :46:18.A slight opening there. That was very brave from Pospisil. Maybe if

:46:19. > :46:23.Murray had got that back you might have gone back to Nestor. There was

:46:24. > :46:32.a slightly bigger gap. Nestor was behind the service line at that

:46:33. > :46:40.point. Tie-break against. - tie-break again. Great Britain raced

:46:41. > :46:45.away with the first, getting those two early strikes against Nestor, we

:46:46. > :46:53.have spoken about the inspiration in this match, we've had breaks that we

:46:54. > :47:13.didn't expect, someone in this court needs magic just to get ahead.

:47:14. > :47:22.So close to the net, Dom Inglot. He shouldn't have missed that, he was a

:47:23. > :47:26.bit late with the swing on the forehand although he did not need to

:47:27. > :47:30.swing that much, just literally had to put his racket in front. It's a

:47:31. > :47:52.bad start. There's a long way to go yet, though.

:47:53. > :48:01.An excellent move from Nestor. Inglot just took his eye off the

:48:02. > :48:27.ball as he was about to hit it and just dragged that one into the net.

:48:28. > :48:39.It's a good lead, the next two points are crucial for Great

:48:40. > :48:43.Britain. After every point in this tournament you have heard a loud

:48:44. > :48:46.shout of command, from Pospisil. He knows how important this is. - a

:48:47. > :49:30.shout of come on. Super from all four men. One of the

:49:31. > :49:33.best points we have seen, really good from Inglot at the end. Got

:49:34. > :50:04.within touching distance. A wonderful return as well, he's

:50:05. > :50:23.taken quite a bit off the serve, Nestor. He is feeling it.

:50:24. > :51:32.Serves don't get much better than that. That was a big serve. He has

:51:33. > :52:14.been here and done it so many times, Nestor. What is serve.

:52:15. > :52:52.Four set points for Canada, to level the match.

:52:53. > :53:15.Two in a row here, to secure the set.

:53:16. > :53:25.One hour and 39 minutes, this time it is Canada with an emphatic

:53:26. > :53:30.tie-break. It is one set all. STUDIO: An amazing atmosphere in

:53:31. > :53:35.Ottawa. We knew that this would be a tough match, nothing between the two

:53:36. > :53:39.teams, now locked in battle, one set all. Let's show you what's been

:53:40. > :53:43.happening elsewhere. Some tense matches in this opening round of the

:53:44. > :53:48.world group. Argentina are right back in it, they have won the

:53:49. > :53:55.doubles match in the fifth set, both teams had a match point, Argentina

:53:56. > :54:00.were the winners, 9-7 in the theft. The defending champions are back in

:54:01. > :54:06.it. At the bottom Croatia have come through, and inexperienced team,

:54:07. > :54:13.they are ranked 114 and 65 in doubles in the world. They have

:54:14. > :54:20.beaten Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez who have so much experience so

:54:21. > :54:24.Croatia are leading that 2-1. This type goes on, regardless of the

:54:25. > :54:28.result today, it will be the deciding two singles matches

:54:29. > :54:34.tomorrow. You will be able to see them on the Red Button from 5pm

:54:35. > :54:39.tomorrow. The highlights at 11:15pm. Other sport to look forward to,

:54:40. > :54:48.England against Australia at netball tomorrow from 1pm. Athletics,

:54:49. > :54:52.2:45pm. Usain Bolt will be the captain of an all-star team in a

:54:53. > :54:58.revolutionary competition in Melbourne, and the women's six

:54:59. > :55:05.Nations, the highlights, tonight at 10:45pm on BBC Two.

:55:06. > :55:12.That is what we can look forward to on BBC television. Plenty to look

:55:13. > :55:20.forward to in this match, it is one set all. This could be the pivotal

:55:21. > :56:28.match of this tie. COMMENTATOR: Pospisil, to serve first.

:56:29. > :56:54.A bit casual there, Nestor. Should have put that ball away. A wonderful

:56:55. > :56:58.service motion from Pospisil. Those big servers, such a relaxed motion,

:56:59. > :57:03.you feel they could serve like this for ten or 12 hours straight and not

:57:04. > :57:16.get tired. There is no strain on it. A very simple motion.

:57:17. > :57:31.And a comfortable hold on serve from Pospisil. What is the quickest court

:57:32. > :57:40.you guys have both played on, indoors, supreme somewhere? We

:57:41. > :57:47.played on fast boards onward at Crystal Palace in a few years back.

:57:48. > :57:52.Only a few years back. That was greased lightning. This is as fast

:57:53. > :58:07.as I have seen for many years in any Davis Cup match.

:58:08. > :58:19.Great second serve. I think it is one of the features of the Davis

:58:20. > :58:25.Cup, interesting, the home-court advantage, putting on any service

:58:26. > :58:35.you want. I think it is great that we rather than just uniform. -- that

:58:36. > :58:47.way. Inglot is serving first at the start of the set for the first time

:58:48. > :58:54.in the match, for Great Britain. Maybe just happier at irrelevant

:58:55. > :58:59.ands. That is an interesting decision at the start of the second

:59:00. > :59:02.set, both teams started with the same server starting the set which

:59:03. > :59:09.meant that both of them switched ends. I did not think anyone was

:59:10. > :59:13.more dominant on serve in the first set, of course Jamie Murray ended up

:59:14. > :59:17.getting broken in that first game, that might have nothing to do with

:59:18. > :59:35.it, it was just interesting as to why that decision was made.

:59:36. > :59:48.Yeah, no slip up on the first service game for Great Britain in

:59:49. > :00:34.this set. He was quite a cheerleader after that game, Leon Smith.

:00:35. > :00:42.A a a a a a a again but the ball did not quite have. -- it was a great

:00:43. > :00:44.return again but the ball did not quite have the height and it drifted

:00:45. > :01:08.long as a result. Pospisil has given us no reason to

:01:09. > :01:14.talk about his knee at all. A little bit of nerves, really. He has done

:01:15. > :01:21.so well after all the problems he had in the first set. They want to

:01:22. > :01:25.try to win these next couple of sets, though, and not go into a long

:01:26. > :01:32.five setter. Not a very strenuous match physically but it is mental

:01:33. > :01:40.energy that dribbles out in a match like this. If they go to a fifth

:01:41. > :01:41.set, to come back tomorrow to play that vital fourth rubber, it would

:01:42. > :02:10.be tough. A motion to his partner. He should

:02:11. > :02:49.have put the lob up. Yes, you should have done.

:02:50. > :02:56.Nestor holds and he will be pleased with that. Inglot has had chances on

:02:57. > :03:01.the return. I know he has made some wonderful ones. Even though they

:03:02. > :03:06.lost that game, the British team, they have to be feeling that the

:03:07. > :03:10.Nestor serve, they are getting these opportunities now. The serve looks

:03:11. > :03:17.like it was shorter at times. With Pospisil up at the net, who does not

:03:18. > :03:20.volley as well as Nestor, that is the site where if they are going to

:03:21. > :03:24.break, that is the better chance that they have. As you say, Dom

:03:25. > :03:28.Inglot has had a couple of second serves where he has made the right

:03:29. > :03:32.blades but there has been a gap when he's had the ground stroke and he is

:03:33. > :03:46.not quite connected. It feels like there is opportunity is there. At

:03:47. > :03:51.15-0, for example. It seems slightly harsh to say it but the half chances

:03:52. > :03:54.like that in a match like this, the team who takes those are the ones

:03:55. > :04:02.that are going to win. We were 15-0 down, and it seems like they were

:04:03. > :04:05.returning not that big a point, but Nestor then double-faulted and

:04:06. > :04:08.suddenly it was 15-30 and it spirals. You never know what point

:04:09. > :04:39.is going to make a difference. Worth remembering that there have

:04:40. > :04:43.only been two breaks of serve in the entire match. There have only been

:04:44. > :05:33.six break points. Not much on that server. It set up,

:05:34. > :07:37.inviting the Biggs wing -- inviting the big swing.

:07:38. > :07:44.The body serve has been so effective. It seems like if you hit

:07:45. > :07:47.the spot, you either get in this return or your partner is ready to

:07:48. > :07:53.knock away the volley. There is a chance that we might not get any

:07:54. > :07:57.more breaks in the match but I think as we get deeper into the third and

:07:58. > :08:00.fourth set, potentially a first, that engine element comes in. I

:08:01. > :08:07.would not be surprised if you see more chances. -- potentially a

:08:08. > :08:16.fifth. Pospisil is giving very few. He has missed that. A fifth point he

:08:17. > :08:37.has lost on serve and this is his eighth service game.

:08:38. > :08:46.Is he talking about hindrance, is that the call from the Brits?

:08:47. > :09:37.Potentially. He should still have made it. An open court volley.

:09:38. > :09:52.This is a real rarity. Pospisil, 1534 first time of the match on his

:09:53. > :09:53.serve. Dom Inglot, looking to get a second serve, and just take a swing

:09:54. > :10:00.at it. Somehow the return had to go in,

:10:01. > :10:46.somehow. He is feeling it all of a sudden,

:10:47. > :10:53.Pospisil, having held so easily. The double-faulted gets a break point.

:10:54. > :10:57.We might see Nestor Cross at this point, to take a bit of pressure off

:10:58. > :11:19.his partner, who is definitely a bit wobbly here.

:11:20. > :11:34.I don't believe that. Why did Jamie let it bounce? Dom Inglot had such a

:11:35. > :11:36.chance. Literally, that was almost set point, the way they had been

:11:37. > :12:13.serving. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, please

:12:14. > :12:29.remain quiet during the point, thank you. It is a bad memory now.

:12:30. > :12:41.They got out of jail in that game, Canada, no doubt.

:12:42. > :12:49.That could haunt Britain, that point. What an opportunity. It is

:12:50. > :12:54.unlikely that Pospisil will play as bad a service game as Ita Vaea. He

:12:55. > :13:01.still managed to hold on. He certainly should have broken on that

:13:02. > :13:11.point. Lovely to see that point again, just to see if Jamie

:13:12. > :13:14.Murray... Is this the point? It is. Initially I thought he let that

:13:15. > :13:20.bounce because he was so close to the net and he was wondering, is he

:13:21. > :13:26.going to hit the net? But looking at it, he was not that close. I'm not

:13:27. > :13:33.sure why you let that bounce. A collective sigh of relief around the

:13:34. > :13:40.stadium. The thing about the scoring system and tennis that makes it so

:13:41. > :13:43.unique and amazing, when you create an opportunity, you play some good

:13:44. > :13:50.tennis and greater chance, if you do not convert that chance, immediately

:13:51. > :13:56.you hand a massive left to your opponents. -- create a chance. That

:13:57. > :14:01.is what happened in the first set. They saved a set point at 5-6 and

:14:02. > :14:02.the Brits went in and tailed up onto the tie-break. That was probably the

:14:03. > :14:28.deciding factor. Trying to be clever with the

:14:29. > :16:47.angle... The atmosphere has just got down a

:16:48. > :16:48.little. It is like everyone is having a breather, maybe expecting

:16:49. > :18:56.another tie-break. That was actually one of Nestor's

:18:57. > :19:04.better games, a bit more punch on the ball. His service game is

:19:05. > :19:11.getting a little bit short. He is holding the top of his right leg.

:19:12. > :19:19.There was a lot of tension out there, so much at stake. He is 44

:19:20. > :19:24.years young, -ish. Trying to get that into perspective, I stopped

:19:25. > :19:28.playing when I was 26 and I am now 30. And another 14 years onto that,

:19:29. > :19:36.to still be playing, that is quite hard to get into my head, to be

:19:37. > :19:41.honest! It really is remarkable. 91 titles, as he said, and he has won

:19:42. > :19:45.with 11 different partners. The first player to win every Grand

:19:46. > :19:50.Slam, Masters Series event, tour finals and a gold medal at least

:19:51. > :19:56.once. It is a remarkable career. Incredible. And why would you stop

:19:57. > :20:01.playing when you can still play as well as he is? Exactly. Making a

:20:02. > :20:09.very good living from the game, he has made over $12.5 million already,

:20:10. > :20:11.and counting. He probably has one of those signs on his bedroom door at

:20:12. > :20:32.home! Two hours and six minutes. We also think of him now is just a

:20:33. > :20:34.doubles player but he had a very good singles career at the start of

:20:35. > :22:48.all of this as well. They are starting to raise towards a

:22:49. > :23:14.tie-break now. A comfortable hold, with Murray Max serving well.

:23:15. > :23:26.It took a long time coming. That was absolutely immaculate. Remarkable.

:23:27. > :24:45.Something to build on now. A chance and merging here against

:24:46. > :24:47.the Pospisil server. Break point in the last service game, a huge

:24:48. > :24:59.moment. Great play. He moved so quickly

:25:00. > :25:54.there. Two more break points. It wasn't a bad return from Jamie

:25:55. > :26:00.Murray. He got a lot of height on that. Just wrong-footed. He was not

:26:01. > :26:02.expecting Nestor to go white with it. The textbook shot would be

:26:03. > :26:41.writes down the middle. Just trying to get that returning to

:26:42. > :26:44.play, but you can't just get it back, I suppose you've got to do

:26:45. > :26:52.something with it, but it is going so fast. Right on top of the net.

:26:53. > :27:50.There is an opportunity there, in the second serve.

:27:51. > :27:56.Now that is ambitious. To be that cute, or to look to be. And on such

:27:57. > :28:38.an important point. He cannot quite get the connection

:28:39. > :28:44.to get a connect on the lob. Very tough to time that. For many in this

:28:45. > :28:51.match, measuring the speed of the ball is difficult. Pospisil is not

:28:52. > :28:56.giving Jamie marry a look at any of these backhands. Is saying, you are

:28:57. > :29:02.going to have to do a great lob, but until you do that, you are not

:29:03. > :29:06.getting out of this. Every now and then, he comes up with a bit of

:29:07. > :29:45.magic, Dom Inglot, reading the serve and mailing it. -- nailing it.

:29:46. > :30:48.Huge hold from 15-40. 5-4, third set. STUDIO: They certainly had

:30:49. > :30:53.their chances and now the pressure is back on the writ issued players

:30:54. > :31:04.to serve to stay in this third set so we are staying with the tennis,

:31:05. > :31:08.if you were expecting to see Dad's Army that will probably follow the

:31:09. > :31:11.conclusion of the tennis. We are not sure how long this will go on but we

:31:12. > :31:18.are staying with the Stirling University barmy Army and in Ottawa.

:31:19. > :31:28.COMMENTATOR: Don't tell them your name, John! Classic, Dad's Army.

:31:29. > :31:31.There are no one from seven in break points, Great Britain, you can look

:31:32. > :31:36.at that in two ways, they will be hurting because they have not broken

:31:37. > :31:40.that they are getting more of the opportunities. I would've thought it

:31:41. > :31:47.would be more on Nestor's serve that they would have opportunities than

:31:48. > :31:51.on Pospisil's serve. A problem that Pospisil allegedly had in his first

:31:52. > :31:57.match that doesn't seem to have affected him too much. A question on

:31:58. > :32:01.the rules, if the captain is given us out at the change of ends doesn't

:32:02. > :32:07.that count as one of your treatments? That, I don't know!

:32:08. > :32:11.Maybe it is the new job description. If it is a rub down, he hasn't

:32:12. > :32:19.called for the trainer officially, I think you can do that as often as

:32:20. > :32:25.you like! Interesting. Because in a regular tour match there is nobody

:32:26. > :33:32.there to do that. Good point. Given a lesson overnight. Just in case.

:33:33. > :33:44.A good message, a love hold. Nice rhythm on his serve in that game.

:33:45. > :33:46.New balls, Nestor to serve. Still just the two breaks, Murray first

:33:47. > :34:06.and then Nestor. Tie-breaks now in all five sets in

:34:07. > :34:43.the Davis Cup and we might see five. Plenty of them.

:34:44. > :34:51.When you watch the match on TV it looks fast but it does not look that

:34:52. > :34:55.fast, probably people would wonder why they're not more returns going

:34:56. > :34:58.back into the court, but is because when you are there, the court is

:34:59. > :35:12.lightning. There is no reaction time.

:35:13. > :35:19.There was an opportunity on the second serve, mind you. It's so

:35:20. > :35:23.important not to get frustrated about not making returns because

:35:24. > :35:35.that can have such a knock-on effect. Absolutely.

:35:36. > :35:49.That will feel mighty good for Nestor, love hold. The pressure is

:35:50. > :36:03.back on Great Britain. There was another Massad, Jamie! -- another

:36:04. > :36:07.Massad -ish -- massage. An interesting point because of the

:36:08. > :36:17.physio is giving him a lesson on how to put those points in

:36:18. > :36:23.anti-recovered,... A massage is a massage. That person wouldn't be

:36:24. > :36:34.sitting there if it was a regular too much. Normally there would be

:36:35. > :36:39.rules for that. Over the years and still over the year, the medical

:36:40. > :36:43.time-out rule, the players that take it sometimes for tactical reasons,

:36:44. > :36:51.some have admitted to it, should it be the same as in boxing? But when

:36:52. > :37:00.the umpire calls time, which is what he's just done, you are either ready

:37:01. > :37:08.to play or you are not. I agree, I would say that or get rid of it

:37:09. > :37:13.altogether. I appreciate that there are medical staff at hand for a

:37:14. > :37:15.genuine emergency, no problem with that but everything else I think we

:37:16. > :37:39.can get rid of. Those countless drills where you

:37:40. > :37:46.stand right at the top of the net and you see here balls are smacked

:37:47. > :37:52.at you, ferocity from just over the servers line, and you get used to

:37:53. > :38:05.putting away those reaction volleys, otherwise you get hit. That's one of

:38:06. > :38:09.the drills, he gets a big cardboard box full of balls and gets people to

:38:10. > :38:14.hit them from the baseline straight at the net. Sometimes you think, how

:38:15. > :38:19.many times will you need that shot? Well we have just seen two in a row

:38:20. > :38:26.in one game when they are just about to get into a tie-breaker,

:38:27. > :38:31.hopefully. The other big benefit of that, more than anything, it gives

:38:32. > :38:34.the net player over time as they get better it gives them the confidence

:38:35. > :38:38.to close down the net because they know they will still be quick

:38:39. > :38:40.enough. If you are taking your own time away you are not likely to get

:38:41. > :38:50.that close. Still got to look out for the lob

:38:51. > :39:58.though. Third set, third tie-breaker.

:39:59. > :40:06.21-sided ones so far. -- 21 sided ones so far. Both have been

:40:07. > :40:51.one-sided, so far. Is that left leg really starting to

:40:52. > :40:58.get sore? He has too played Dan Evans first in the reverse singles

:40:59. > :41:07.tomorrow. - he has got to play Dan Evans first tomorrow.

:41:08. > :41:20.Well played. Nearly two and a half hours, this much, Kyle Edmund

:41:21. > :41:29.against Pospisil went on for two hours and eight minutes. This is a

:41:30. > :41:34.marathon! That could be a huge point that the British pair, Inglot did

:41:35. > :41:39.really well to pick that volley off his shoelaces. -- huge point for the

:41:40. > :41:59.British pair. Such a good length. Excellent 1-2

:42:00. > :42:00.punch there. Big serve, followed by a volley that was difficult, really

:42:01. > :42:37.difficult. Brilliant. Playing a fabulous

:42:38. > :42:46.tie-breaker so far, Inglot. Strange how the tie-breakers have been so

:42:47. > :42:50.one sided. The Canadians won almost all the points in the second set

:42:51. > :42:53.tie-break, the British took almost all the points in the first

:42:54. > :42:59.tie-break and yet it has been so tight otherwise. Part of that could

:43:00. > :43:06.be because it is so tight and the players are so aware of how

:43:07. > :43:10.important getting a lead is, even if it is just one mini-break, once that

:43:11. > :43:14.has happened, there's been a double whammy, the team that have got a

:43:15. > :43:18.head have had such a lift and played some other good points at the same

:43:19. > :43:20.time as the team that I've lost the early break. It's a bit OK, we are

:43:21. > :44:03.up against it here. That need must be feeling sora by

:44:04. > :44:12.the second. That knee must be feeling sorer by the second.

:44:13. > :44:52.Five set points. Fantastic noise the British supporters are making. Every

:44:53. > :44:59.point won in this tie-break, I am having to check if the Canadians won

:45:00. > :45:12.the point! Check where this match is being played!

:45:13. > :46:18.Tough shot to make. Needed to be so delicate there. So close to the net.

:46:19. > :46:26.It is wide! Great Britain have taken the lead, two sets to one in this

:46:27. > :46:55.pivotal doubles match! Wants to go to the toilet, Jamie

:46:56. > :46:59.Murray. I don't know what the problem was earlier. He has asked

:47:00. > :47:06.for the trainer as well, I think, for when he gets back. Your

:47:07. > :47:11.thoughts? Just a fabulous tie-break. A couple of points at the beginning

:47:12. > :47:16.again, Great Britain with a sharper team at the beginning of the

:47:17. > :47:25.tie-break. As you say, it is strange how the tie-breakers have been so

:47:26. > :47:30.one-sided. I thought we would see some really tight ones and both

:47:31. > :47:34.teams pulled away in all three tie-breakers. I will make a

:47:35. > :47:40.prediction that this set will not be a tie-breaker, I will go out on a

:47:41. > :47:44.limb. Going back on what you said earlier! Actually come you didn't

:47:45. > :47:47.say there would be a tie-breaker in every set. I will let you off. I

:47:48. > :47:55.think Great Britain will come through. Interestingly, it is

:47:56. > :47:59.Pospisil's server that has really come under pressure in at least two

:48:00. > :48:04.service games and then he hit that double fault in the first point of

:48:05. > :48:11.the tie-break. We are talking about one point but and huge difference

:48:12. > :48:23.because breast 3-0 lead sounds and feels like a lot. -- a 3-0 lead.

:48:24. > :48:27.Pospisil looked so tight at the beginning of the match yesterday.

:48:28. > :48:32.Sweat pouring from him, that was one his knee went and then it got better

:48:33. > :48:36.as the match went on, it was similar here, there were those two types

:48:37. > :48:40.service games out of nowhere when he had been holding so easily and

:48:41. > :48:45.suddenly his knee needs lots of attention again.

:48:46. > :48:54.He is sort of glazed, looking ahead. He had the weight on his shoulders,

:48:55. > :48:58.the weight that Andy Murray has carried so well, the expectation of

:48:59. > :49:04.three wins from his three rubbers this weekend, he plays Dan Evans

:49:05. > :49:12.this weekend, Dan Evans has had a day off, it all comes into the mix.

:49:13. > :49:16.Dan Evans will be taking a sneaky look and see what is going on with

:49:17. > :49:20.the treatment and will be happy. It is a lot to ask to play three

:49:21. > :49:25.matches back-to-back in the Davis Cup especially when you have been in

:49:26. > :49:28.Pospisil's position of not playing enough matches. It is different if

:49:29. > :49:33.you are playing regularly and winning at a high level but when you

:49:34. > :49:38.haven't and you have to win three matches in three days it's very

:49:39. > :49:44.difficult. I think they making the point to the referee. And now the

:49:45. > :49:48.trainer is on, treating Pospisil. What is the difference? He does have

:49:49. > :49:58.the medical certificate to treat... This is now the time in this match.

:49:59. > :50:06.Is this a time-out, a medical time-out being called by Canada, as

:50:07. > :50:11.we saw yesterday? And Great Britain using the trainer too. It is all

:50:12. > :50:17.happening! Just what you were saying about the doubles, and 1-1 it's

:50:18. > :50:30.always so pivotal in the Davis Cup tie. I would not normally give it as

:50:31. > :50:33.much credit as I am about to but I think the result of this match will

:50:34. > :50:40.have a significant bearing on the result of the first singles

:50:41. > :50:46.tomorrow. If Canada are leading 2-1, the prospects of Pospisil beating

:50:47. > :50:51.Dan Evans go up by a long way. I agree. The percentage of teams that

:50:52. > :50:57.win that particular type, I think it's hugely in favour of the doubles

:50:58. > :51:01.winners. Absolutely. It is a great competition for all of that, we

:51:02. > :51:05.talked about it yesterday, we have talked about and figures, revamping

:51:06. > :51:10.and because the top players are not supporting it, Novak Djokovic is the

:51:11. > :51:15.only top players supporting at this weekend, and it's a non-Olympic year

:51:16. > :51:21.but is a wonderful competition for so many reasons. It is fantastic. We

:51:22. > :51:27.all love this competition. It is incredible but it cannot survive at

:51:28. > :51:31.the level it should if the top players, this amount of players

:51:32. > :51:38.don't play it. It will always be there but it won't have the prestige

:51:39. > :51:58.that it has had. It can't. Something will happen.

:51:59. > :52:05.I think the only way it could be revamped is that the sacrifice of

:52:06. > :52:09.some lesser events on the ATP to. So you think which one of the Masters

:52:10. > :52:16.Series will happily give up their tournament, and there lies the

:52:17. > :52:26.problem! Everyone acts independently, their tournament

:52:27. > :52:33.directors, the IVF, etc. If the top ten players get together and sort

:52:34. > :52:37.those out, they have the power to make it happen because if they do

:52:38. > :52:44.not play, the competition will lose all of its prestige at some stage.

:52:45. > :52:49.This first round has been a huge eye opener, it has to be, to the ITF,

:52:50. > :53:13.this cannot continue. That is so good. Good point about

:53:14. > :53:17.player power. I wonder, when you look at the top players now, where

:53:18. > :53:22.they are in their career, have they been so good because each one of

:53:23. > :53:32.them has won the Davis Cup? So the chances of them committing... That

:53:33. > :53:34.is a good point. Even if it doesn't benefit them it could benefit the

:53:35. > :53:44.next generation if they change these rules. I know we are going on about

:53:45. > :53:50.this now but it is an important point, look at how it's transformed

:53:51. > :53:55.Novak Djokovic's career, the euphoria in Serbia when they won the

:53:56. > :54:00.trophy, and for the rest of the Serbian players, it is amazing for

:54:01. > :54:06.you individually. Ask Andy Murray how much it means to him to have the

:54:07. > :54:08.winner's Trophy as part of his CV, he gave everything for it for year

:54:09. > :55:49.and a half. That is outstanding. That was a

:55:50. > :55:53.class doubles point. We just haven't seen enough of it because of the

:55:54. > :55:59.speed of the court but this is what it is all about. 75% of the people

:56:00. > :56:02.watching this match only play doubles, this is what they played

:56:03. > :56:09.themselves so to watch a point like that they will be thinking maybe we

:56:10. > :56:10.could play that sort of point. Probably not. But at least you can

:56:11. > :57:06.dream about it. Two fabulous points in that game.

:57:07. > :57:18.More of those, please! The crowd have been starved of this sort of

:57:19. > :58:53.action. Brilliant when they produce it.

:58:54. > :59:01.Just like in the second set, the British team serving first with a

:59:02. > :59:06.one set advantage, I think their prime focus at the moment will be to

:59:07. > :59:08.keep their noses in front. Really all their attention on their service

:59:09. > :59:24.games, no loose errors. They caught a cold at the start of

:59:25. > :59:40.the second, didn't they, when Murray was broken.

:59:41. > :00:39.Surprising it is only the first time because it is a huge step.

:00:40. > :00:56.is a in this fourth set. -- SUE BARKER: If you are truly a expecting

:00:57. > :01:01.QI XL, that will probably be shown later on this evening, depending on

:01:02. > :01:05.the length of this match. That is a quiz where you are rewarded for

:01:06. > :01:08.answers that are interesting. Well, this is absolutely fascinating.

:01:09. > :01:17.Going nowhere, staying with the tennis until its on BBC Two.

:01:18. > :01:26.It really is that cliffhanger type feel. Slowly but surely, they're

:01:27. > :01:37.getting it done. Pospisil, more treatment on Manly, leg. -- on that

:01:38. > :01:43.knee, leg. We don't know how bad this is but if Canada were to win

:01:44. > :01:49.this next two sets, if he goes to five sets, which they would have to

:01:50. > :01:58.do to stay in this match, it is going to be tough to see how they

:01:59. > :02:01.could come out tomorrow and beat someone like Dan Evans, who defends

:02:02. > :02:16.so well and makes you play so many balls. It's hard to say how he could

:02:17. > :02:20.do that without that many matches. Although saying that, Roger Federer

:02:21. > :02:24.just won the Australian Open after having not played for six months.

:02:25. > :03:01.Although Pospisil is not Roger Federer.

:03:02. > :03:10.Long, with no challengers. Some seriously bad bounces on the court

:03:11. > :03:12.yesterday. There are some dead spots. I remember seeing a few bad

:03:13. > :04:10.ones in the singles. It looks like a Dom Inglot knows

:04:11. > :04:12.that he is going, and he just pulls off that forehand, hooking it wide

:04:13. > :04:39.with an open court. Blocked again. Another

:04:40. > :04:41.anti-inflammatory. Just two breaks of serve, marry and Nestor broken in

:04:42. > :05:46.the second set. -- Murray. Well done. That really is well done,

:05:47. > :05:50.at 0-15. An excellent half-volley. That was really clever. He held off

:05:51. > :05:53.playing that's just long enough because he knew there was a lot of

:05:54. > :06:07.movement in front of him. A great pick up.

:06:08. > :07:11.He makes those look so easy, Jamie Murray. But still, the angle.

:07:12. > :07:26.Two in one game, he loves that shot. And he got a chance to have a go at

:07:27. > :07:34.the Pospisil serve next game. The legal leg on this serve, that is the

:07:35. > :07:37.one that is giving his problems. -- and the leader leg on this serve,

:07:38. > :07:43.that is the one that is giving him problems. He will be less lively on

:07:44. > :07:46.this set. I don't think I've seen Nestor's facial expression change

:07:47. > :07:51.throughout this whole match. It never does, though, does it? I

:07:52. > :07:57.suppose if you have been playing for as long as he has, nothing surprises

:07:58. > :08:01.you any more. It is just another match. This is special, the Davis

:08:02. > :08:04.Cup, but he has been there and done it so many times. The oldest player

:08:05. > :08:21.in Canada's Davis Cup history, naturally. Great Britain's, eldest,

:08:22. > :08:39.Colin Gregory, in 1952, 40 eight. -- 48.

:08:40. > :09:41.Huge pressure on Canada. Two sets to one down.

:09:42. > :09:48.Well done. He has been trying to make that forehand return for a

:09:49. > :09:51.while. He got hold of that nicely. He still had to compose himself on

:09:52. > :10:16.that next shot. It was a big point and he knew it.

:10:17. > :10:39.That is just brilliant. Both guys there, Jamie Murray, an exceptional

:10:40. > :10:48.return. Great reflexes from Dominic Inglot. He is playing so well

:10:49. > :10:50.tonight. Three more break points. One from seven so far, Great

:10:51. > :11:34.Britain. That is amazing! That is outrageous.

:11:35. > :11:41.That is the best volley of the match so far by miles. A look of disbelief

:11:42. > :11:48.on the bench. I don't think anybody believes it, I am not sure of the

:11:49. > :11:51.year then did himself. -- I am not sure if he even did himself. A

:11:52. > :12:08.fabulous return from Inglot. That is how you get out of trouble

:12:09. > :12:12.after that volley. That would have been amazing. That would have hurt

:12:13. > :13:01.Great Britain. Is it in the decisive break? You

:13:02. > :13:08.thought Britain would break and win this set, John. You are on track.

:13:09. > :13:12.Still a way to go. But you have to say that Dom Inglot has played a

:13:13. > :13:16.superb match. Jamie Murray has as well, but you sort of expect that

:13:17. > :13:21.from Jamie Murray. The experience he has that. Dominic Inglot has not

:13:22. > :13:27.played that many big matches at Davis Cup level. I think he has been

:13:28. > :13:34.absolutely brilliant. This is just his fourth rubber. He has been

:13:35. > :13:38.around a while but there is that pesky chap, Andy Murray, playing

:13:39. > :13:44.instead of him all the time. He has had to wait for his chances. This is

:13:45. > :13:56.a superb performance by himself are. He had to wait till last year in the

:13:57. > :14:03.quarterfinals, beating Zimonjic, to get his first win.

:14:04. > :14:33.Great server. One of his best of the match. It is going out to the Nestor

:14:34. > :14:47.forehand, and he is taking on that side. He has been very successful.

:14:48. > :15:30.All of a sudden, huge momentum shift. The crowd behind, slumped

:15:31. > :16:36.back in their seats. Good hands. Great Britain breakaway.

:16:37. > :16:43.They have breathing space at last. But they should not take anything

:16:44. > :16:47.for granted. One thing I am surprised about in this fourth set

:16:48. > :16:50.was that the Canadians opted for Pospisil to serve first. Given what

:16:51. > :16:54.happened at the end of the third, where he was under quite a bit of

:16:55. > :16:58.pressure, his last two service games, I would have thought that

:16:59. > :17:02.perhaps Nestor would have maybe that is the down and said, I am holding

:17:03. > :17:14.comfortable here, I will start this one off. It is terrific, in the home

:17:15. > :17:20.ties, where sections of the crowd are given away to the away support.

:17:21. > :17:25.It is always close to the relative bench, so it is very fair and

:17:26. > :17:28.neutral in that sense but there is just a sea of British support

:17:29. > :17:39.behind. Drowning out everything else. I wonder if there are actually

:17:40. > :17:43.rules that you cannot put them up in the gods, the furthest away, or

:17:44. > :17:57.whether it is just an unwritten sporting thing.

:17:58. > :18:22.Maybe I should ask if he wants me to stand over a bit more to the other

:18:23. > :18:57.side. Too good. That really is good. A

:18:58. > :20:28.nice feel on the backhand. A swinging volley to follow.

:20:29. > :20:33.So the question has been asked and Dom Inglot is charged with

:20:34. > :20:36.responsibility. He only offered one break point in the match on his

:20:37. > :22:24.serve, and he lost it. Great Britain win the pivotal

:22:25. > :22:32.doubles. Eight horrific performance away from home. -- a terrific

:22:33. > :22:39.performance. It was a fantastic match. The atmosphere, the drama,

:22:40. > :22:47.three tie-breakers, that always makes it interesting and I thought

:22:48. > :22:52.that to me, Dom Inglot was the best player on the court over four sets.

:22:53. > :22:55.Jamie Murray backed him up superbly but you expect that from Jamie

:22:56. > :23:00.because he is such a great doubles player and has been for a while. But

:23:01. > :23:05.what a performance. That was a big match for Dom Inglot to come

:23:06. > :23:11.through, in a pressure situation. I thought he was a class act. And you

:23:12. > :23:15.feel so pleased for him because he set there for so many Thais

:23:16. > :23:17.supporting Great Britain, being the hitter, doing everything you could

:23:18. > :23:22.imagine and Leon Smith is always spoken glowingly about his

:23:23. > :23:27.contribution, almost as a nonplaying member of the team. He has been so

:23:28. > :23:31.desperate to get out on the court and he almost had to check himself

:23:32. > :23:37.then because he was prepared for playing but it was not happening

:23:38. > :23:41.because of Andy Murray. And that was the right thing for Andy Murray to

:23:42. > :23:47.be picked in these double matches but it just shows that he is ready

:23:48. > :23:52.and it Andy Murray -- Jamie Murray plays in a match and has a long

:23:53. > :23:56.first match, and decides that perhaps he is a little bit fatigued,

:23:57. > :24:02.we can now see that we have a team and we have a player that can step

:24:03. > :24:05.in without any hesitation. And Pospisil has taken quite a bit out

:24:06. > :24:09.of himself today I head of the reverse singles tomorrow. And to be

:24:10. > :24:14.honest, Dan Evans is not the person you want to play under those

:24:15. > :24:18.circumstances because he gets a lot of balls back. He makes you play a

:24:19. > :24:26.lot of shots and we saw that in his first match. He gets the ball back.

:24:27. > :24:32.He has matured a lot. I think that will be a very tough at for the

:24:33. > :24:38.Canadians to come back and win that match tomorrow. And there is the

:24:39. > :24:48.celebrations. It is not job done yet. They have played a magnificent

:24:49. > :24:55.part. Well, you don't think it is an away match, that is how well and how

:24:56. > :25:00.amazingly well the British support has been in these away matches the

:25:01. > :25:05.last few years. The home advantage has been taken away, crowd wise.

:25:06. > :25:10.Completely. And in the end it was two from ten on the break points. Is

:25:11. > :25:15.that because they were getting so many chances? It was just a matter

:25:16. > :25:22.of time. They were sharper in that set, and eventually took the

:25:23. > :25:26.chances. They deserved this win. A terrific position after day two.

:25:27. > :25:33.Inglot and Murray for Great Britain, 2-1 up. SUE BARKER: We talk about it

:25:34. > :25:38.being a crucial match and it could be just that. Britain 2-1 up and it

:25:39. > :25:42.goes down to the final day when Dan Evans will be first on court to play

:25:43. > :25:45.Pospisil, and you can see that on the red button at five o'clock

:25:46. > :25:51.tomorrow. If needed, Kyle Edmund will be up against the 17-year-old,

:25:52. > :25:57.Denis Shapovalov off, so those are the two matches we will look forward

:25:58. > :26:01.to tomorrow. And Jamie has made his way down here. What a match that

:26:02. > :26:06.was. You just felt that that third set tie-break was the pivotal moment

:26:07. > :26:09.of the match. It was massive. It was not the most amazing tennis to

:26:10. > :26:14.watch, we knew that would be the case, but my goodness there was a

:26:15. > :26:19.lot of tension. The tie-breaks were funny because they were one-sided.

:26:20. > :26:24.It was almost as if the team with an early lead got a massive left. In

:26:25. > :26:28.the fourth set, it was good for the British team. Serving first, they

:26:29. > :26:32.were able to keep their nose in front, which was something they lost

:26:33. > :26:35.at the start of the second set. The momentum from the first sets

:26:36. > :26:42.disappeared. That did not happen in the fourth. In the end, big gap

:26:43. > :26:45.appeared. There was only going to be one winner after that. And you would

:26:46. > :26:50.be worried if you were the Canadian captain, with Pospisil really

:26:51. > :26:54.injured. Not getting up on his serve because of that leg injury, playing

:26:55. > :26:58.Dan Evans tomorrow. Leon Smith must be happy with the situation. He will

:26:59. > :27:03.be delighted, regardless of the injury. That match was absolutely

:27:04. > :27:07.crucial, given what happened yesterday with Pospisil getting a

:27:08. > :27:12.lift from that singles win against Kyle Edmund. I think the chances of

:27:13. > :27:18.him beating Dan Evans in that match tomorrow are now much slimmer, and I

:27:19. > :27:23.think you will see Dan Evans really get in the face of his opponent. He

:27:24. > :27:34.will really pummel the backhand of Pospisil, who is by far the weakest

:27:35. > :27:38.side. And we are hearing that the players are playing in Ottawa. We

:27:39. > :27:44.may not be able to hear the whole interview but let's hear from Dom

:27:45. > :27:50.and Jamie. Jamie, after yesterday's results, did it feel a little more

:27:51. > :27:54.crucial to get 2-1 up going into Sunday? Obviously, yeah. There are

:27:55. > :28:00.only three matches left and whoever wins has the lead going into Sunday.

:28:01. > :28:05.Both teams knew how important it was. It was a 50-50 match going in.

:28:06. > :28:11.There was a favourite and we knew it would be close. Because of the

:28:12. > :28:16.surface and how everyone was serving. Everyone knows how to play

:28:17. > :28:22.doubles. We were really happy to win the points and give our guys two

:28:23. > :28:30.megabytes of the cherry tomorrow. What do you think was the turning

:28:31. > :28:35.point going into the third and fourth sets? I think we started the

:28:36. > :28:39.points better, making a few more returns. They started to get tired

:28:40. > :28:44.as well. The service is not the easiest, it is so hard on the

:28:45. > :28:48.joints. Pospisil played yesterday, and Nestor is older than us, so

:28:49. > :28:57.there is no excuse for us to not outlast them. But we do good job and

:28:58. > :29:01.we stayed strong. Dom played a great game in the fourth sets to break

:29:02. > :29:06.serve and that was it. It was a fine margin. We will be back tomorrow.

:29:07. > :29:09.Sorry for the overrun but Britain our 2-1 up in Ottawa. Bye-bye.
