:00:35. > :00:45.Good evening. Great Britain was on the verge of victory in the opening

:00:46. > :00:48.day of their Davis Cup tie after a superb performance from Jamie Murray

:00:49. > :00:49.and Dominic Inglot who held their nerve to come through a tense

:00:50. > :01:01.doubles match yesterday. COMMENTATOR: Always pivotal, the

:01:02. > :01:05.doubles rubber. Top match today, unbelievable quality. A comfortable

:01:06. > :01:14.breaker Great Britain have set up. I think what was really good is how

:01:15. > :01:23.they have responded. Great Britain have taken a two sets to one lead.

:01:24. > :01:27.We stayed strong in important moments, great first set. Great

:01:28. > :01:31.written win the pivotal doubles. Happy to win the point and give our

:01:32. > :01:37.guys to bites of the cherry tomorrow. Jenni Murray was good as

:01:38. > :01:40.always, but Dominic Inglot was the best player on the court, collecting

:01:41. > :01:43.his second Davis Cup victory to put his team has won away from the

:01:44. > :01:48.quarterfinals for a fourth year in a row. Onto the final day, and it was

:01:49. > :01:53.full of incident. We have a lot to look forward to in the next are

:01:54. > :01:59.half. In the absence of Andy Murray, Dan Evans was Britain's 11. Could he

:02:00. > :02:04.get victory against the big hitting Vasek Pospisil, a quarterfinalist at

:02:05. > :02:10.Wimbledon two years ago? And inspired by the Canadian fans,

:02:11. > :02:20.Pospisil was at his best, he took the first two sets, 7-6, 6-4, Evans

:02:21. > :02:41.in real trouble. Commentators are John Lloyd and Chris Bratton.

:02:42. > :03:00.Nearly 80% of points behind his first serve.

:03:01. > :03:11.It was in! JOHN LLOYD: No one in the crowd was

:03:12. > :03:22.sure if it was in not, nobody clapped.

:03:23. > :03:32.UMPIRE: Great Britain challenging the call on the left service line,

:03:33. > :03:54.the ball was called in. UMPIRE: Great Britain has one

:03:55. > :03:55.challenge remaining. He needs to hang onto that one

:03:56. > :04:11.challenge. Until he is pretty sure. Just seeing how many challenges he

:04:12. > :04:25.had left! UMPIRE: Canada has two challenges

:04:26. > :04:55.remaining. Oh, that is the worst forehand we

:04:56. > :04:58.have seen. Dan Evans took off very early to take that fall on the

:04:59. > :05:04.forehand side, and didn't hit a particularly good shot. It is the

:05:05. > :05:05.first time he has done that. Surprisingly are from Pospisil.

:05:06. > :05:33.Plenty of time on this one. Would you believe it. When he has

:05:34. > :05:38.looked so rock-solid, Evans is back into this third set. He has to

:05:39. > :05:42.regroup immediately. No thoughts of congratulations at his mind that he

:05:43. > :05:46.has broken back, right away he must get back to business of holding his

:05:47. > :05:50.own serve. Which he failed to do in the second set. Exactly. That really

:05:51. > :06:47.was given away by the Canadian. CHEERING

:06:48. > :06:49.All of the come ons, the battling, they are being rewarded right now

:06:50. > :07:00.for Evans. Not a bad change up there. He read

:07:01. > :08:24.it early. And he hasn't had a lot to cheer

:08:25. > :08:31.about, as the director is clearly showing us. He has now, he has got

:08:32. > :08:35.his nose in front. It is not a break, but he's hanging in here very

:08:36. > :08:44.well. That's all he can do, it is a good effort to get back mentally. So

:08:45. > :08:52.they have gone into a third hour in this match. Pospisil just needs to

:08:53. > :08:56.regroup here. Two sets and 3-1, serving at 3-4 third set because he

:08:57. > :09:24.lost the last three games. Just a little bit slow getting

:09:25. > :09:27.around that forehand. He has been lightning on most occasions during

:09:28. > :09:30.this match when the ball was anywhere near his backhand side, he

:09:31. > :09:32.gets around and hit the forehand, but that one, he didn't get the feet

:09:33. > :10:09.right. That sin. That's in. You don't want

:10:10. > :10:13.to take on the Pospisil forehand too many times, but that was an occasion

:10:14. > :10:18.when it looked like Dan Evans had the chance to get ahead in the

:10:19. > :10:22.rally, but Berlin response. CHEERING

:10:23. > :11:02.-- brilliant response. That was a little ragged. That knee

:11:03. > :11:07.suddenly starts to eight as the tension builds. He was so tight

:11:08. > :11:38.Friday at the beginning of his match.

:11:39. > :11:47.Great stride, well played, Pospisil. Just thought there in that early

:11:48. > :11:54.part of the rally, Evans had a chance to hit the backhand approach

:11:55. > :12:02.and come in on Pospisil's way weaker side, and he didn't do so. We would

:12:03. > :12:03.have loved to have seen Pospisil having to hit a backhand passing

:12:04. > :13:13.shot at 30-30. So much hinges on this man's first

:13:14. > :14:27.serve. It is a feature that controls the whole match, almost.

:14:28. > :14:34.Again, just nudged that ball back somehow, it wasn't a particularly

:14:35. > :14:36.good return, but he got his racket on the ball. What a bonus that

:14:37. > :15:05.turned out to be. Oh, was it? Evans' return was

:15:06. > :15:11.perilously close, but... UMPIRE: Great witness challenging

:15:12. > :15:12.the call. This is huge, right here. Is it

:15:13. > :15:30.ever. It out! It's four games in a row the

:15:31. > :15:37.Dan Evans, who will serve for the third set. Way to hang in there, Dan

:15:38. > :15:46.Evans looked like he was out of this match, kept the police.

:15:47. > :15:50.UMPIRE: Canada has one challenge remaining.

:15:51. > :15:57.Got the balls back into play, worked hard. Pospisil's first serve

:15:58. > :15:59.percentage dropping, maybe a sign of tiredness. A few easy forehand is

:16:00. > :16:16.missed. The emotional drain must be so

:16:17. > :16:21.fatiguing in the Davis Cup. It is, having to play three matches in a

:16:22. > :16:25.row as Pospisil has had to do, sometimes you will get these lapses

:16:26. > :16:35.of concentration, particularly when you haven't played many matches.

:16:36. > :16:45.Played so well yesterday, Dom Inglot was probably the start of the show

:16:46. > :16:48.yesterday for Great Britain, but Jamie Murray backed him up

:16:49. > :17:16.admirably. UMPIRE: Let, first service.

:17:17. > :17:22.The pressures change so quickly, don't they? He just rushed a little

:17:23. > :17:48.bit. Serving to the backhand is paying

:17:49. > :17:50.dividends. Slowed that serve down a bit, made sure he got it in, kicked

:17:51. > :18:20.it up I. What a second serve that was! Serve

:18:21. > :18:23.on the line, forehand off the top of the net. Living dangerously. Set

:18:24. > :18:50.point Great Britain. He has never won a match from two

:18:51. > :19:43.sets down, Dan Evans. The comeback begins.

:19:44. > :19:52.Jamie Baker, your thoughts at this point? It Israeli question of how

:19:53. > :20:02.Vasek Pospisil regroups. -- it is really a question. The momentum Will

:20:03. > :20:10.Evans, he is sniffing out the momentum, no question about that.

:20:11. > :20:19.So much extra energy with Evans right now, inevitably having won the

:20:20. > :20:24.third set, he had gone through a patch of looking really down and

:20:25. > :20:25.flat, and he has talked himself out of that. A chance to sit with your

:20:26. > :20:37.captain at the sit down. You are playing for your country,

:20:38. > :20:43.you don't want to let people down. It all helps. And they had the kind

:20:44. > :20:46.of slight disagreement and toing and froing about what to do on the

:20:47. > :20:50.returns, he seems to have worked through that, he is in a position

:20:51. > :21:14.where he is happy with what he is doing now.

:21:15. > :21:58.It's in, and he's got another break point.

:21:59. > :22:05.Oh, yes, that was good. This is on a break point.

:22:06. > :22:11.UMPIRE: Canada is challenging the call on the right near side. The

:22:12. > :22:16.ball was called in. Is that a let if it was in? It has to be, because he

:22:17. > :22:22.had a play on it. It is definitely in, so what is the call?

:22:23. > :22:26.UMPIRE: First service. No way. He was going to get the breaks ever

:22:27. > :22:35.sure, Evans, and he gets the first serve back.

:22:36. > :22:58.UMPIRE: Canada has to challenges remaining.

:22:59. > :23:10.Four points in a row. He is building on this momentum, Dan Evans.

:23:11. > :23:15.SUE BARKER: Evans was on a roll, we move on a few games and Evans is

:23:16. > :23:49.still up a break, serving at 3-2. JOHN LLOYD: Shaking his head at the

:23:50. > :23:56.tactic again. Don't change what is working, Dan! How many points did

:23:57. > :24:03.you get in the last game from nailing the Pospisil backhand? Like

:24:04. > :24:13.that, and he's not really hurt him off the backhand at all. Commentary

:24:14. > :24:17.boxes are unbeaten around the world, aren't they? Very grateful to him

:24:18. > :24:25.for letting us see how good Pospisil's backhand is!

:24:26. > :24:35.That is another massive clue, isn't it? That actually was a really

:24:36. > :24:39.tricky volley, as well. Almost touching the net with his right foot

:24:40. > :25:34.as he slid in here, closing down the net well. Look at that.

:25:35. > :25:39.Hasn't made that shot the whole match, trying to drive it down the

:25:40. > :26:52.line. Here is a break point. He sprinted out from the sit down

:26:53. > :27:00.with the attention of breaking, Pospisil. He's achieved just that.

:27:01. > :27:04.You do have to say, that is a great effort from the Canadian.

:27:05. > :27:10.Considering what had happened from the lead in the third set. All the

:27:11. > :27:16.momentum, a poor start to this fourth set, and he has regrouped.

:27:17. > :27:22.And that's what it means. SUE BARKER: The captain, the crowd

:27:23. > :27:26.on their feet as Pospisil gets back level. The next two games went with

:27:27. > :27:45.serve, so let's read joined the action at four games all.

:27:46. > :27:50.He might have had a barren spell on serve, but what a time to come into

:27:51. > :28:02.a purple patch now. What a miss! Perfect play, wasn't

:28:03. > :29:40.it? A little spring in the step right at

:29:41. > :30:24.the end, finally banishing the memory of that.

:30:25. > :30:36.That's the first time he's made one of those. What a time to do it. Yes,

:30:37. > :30:41.the missed first serve, the sliced return was wide enough, Pospisil

:30:42. > :30:43.still managing to hit a forehand. You are right, I think this is the

:30:44. > :30:56.first one we have seen him make. What they return! -- what a return.

:30:57. > :31:40.40-0, two break point. That point had a drama written all

:31:41. > :34:06.over it. Three hours and three minutes. How

:34:07. > :34:08.much drama left in this one? Dan Evans asked to hold serve to keep

:34:09. > :34:52.the match alive. UMPIRE: Canada has zero challenges

:34:53. > :36:05.remaining. How was that from 0-15? Cool as you

:36:06. > :36:12.like. Great play, great commitment from Dan Evans on just about every

:36:13. > :36:38.shot in that game. Can he find a way?

:36:39. > :36:50.So many times on the first point he has made the T serve. Very hard for

:36:51. > :37:26.Evans to have a play on that. Just one kilometre per hour off his

:37:27. > :37:49.quickest. Weigh over 130 mph. Three aces in a game. Not for the

:37:50. > :43:57.first time. Tie-break minimum for Pospisil. Fourth set.

:43:58. > :50:20.UMPIRE: Both teams receive one additional challenge.

:50:21. > :52:01.UMPIRE: Challenge to the call, the ball was called in.

:52:02. > :53:55.What a masterful performance from the 26-year-old to put Canada right

:53:56. > :54:07.back in the tie. Let's hear from him. I played really well. Of

:54:08. > :54:10.course, the home crowd advantage is an advantage. Daniel was playing

:54:11. > :54:14.quite well and I had to play at a high level to beat him. I am

:54:15. > :54:19.thrilled to do it. I knew it was going to be very tough. I was

:54:20. > :54:24.confident, of course, I am confident in my abilities. You know, the Davis

:54:25. > :54:30.Cup, you are playing a great player, you never know, it is a coin toss,

:54:31. > :54:36.really. Very happy I was able to perform at a high standard. So,

:54:37. > :54:40.level at 2-2. It would all be decided in the final match, for

:54:41. > :54:48.Briton Kyle Edmund who, by his own admission, played a dismal match

:54:49. > :54:55.previously, up against Shapovalov. We will see that in a moment. First

:54:56. > :54:59.of all, Pospisil, an inspired performance. He had a leg injury in

:55:00. > :55:03.the last two matches but that is the best we have seen him play Fifa

:55:04. > :55:07.years? We were questioning where his confidence would be at before it

:55:08. > :55:16.started. A great win on Friday, really close doubles. He played a

:55:17. > :55:19.fantastic match. It was about the big points. It was enjoyable to see

:55:20. > :55:24.him actually soaking up the atmosphere so much. He really got

:55:25. > :55:27.the crowd involved. He thanked the crowd in that interview, but it was

:55:28. > :55:31.partly the way he played on the big points and also his reaction. He

:55:32. > :55:36.really fired them up and it really helped. Disappointed with Dan Evans,

:55:37. > :55:40.he had his chances to get back in. If he could have got the fourth, the

:55:41. > :55:44.momentum would be with him? At times I thought he would find their way to

:55:45. > :55:49.win the match. He was nudging his way back. Big points, he did not

:55:50. > :55:58.convert. Pospisil, after the lack of confidence he had, that maybe Dan

:55:59. > :56:02.would find a way. He had the chances and didn't take them. Pospisil, you

:56:03. > :56:06.look at him in this tie and you think his ranking is only going to

:56:07. > :56:11.go one way, and that is up. The forehand was awesome, the server was

:56:12. > :56:14.awesome. As Jamie said, the big points, he was magnificent. Every

:56:15. > :56:19.time the pressure points were there, he played the big ones well. The

:56:20. > :56:24.British team, Dan Evans played so well on Friday, expecting so much,

:56:25. > :56:29.and now the pressure is on? Absolutely. The first match, he was

:56:30. > :56:34.able to dictate a lot of the points. That was a different case here.

:56:35. > :56:40.Evans, going into the match, he was the best player in the tie. We would

:56:41. > :56:44.think he would have a good chance of closing out. But anything can happen

:56:45. > :56:48.in the final rubber, that is for sure. As far as Pospisil is

:56:49. > :56:53.concerned, when you are serving that well, five aces in a row or

:56:54. > :56:58.something, was it six? When you have a weapon like that on a court but is

:56:59. > :57:04.this fast, it is hard to beat? They picked the surface perfectly, that

:57:05. > :57:12.is what happens in home ties. If Milos Raonic had been here, how

:57:13. > :57:17.would they have picked? I bet he wishes he could play on the surface

:57:18. > :57:22.every week of the year. 2-2, it will go down to the fifth and final

:57:23. > :57:26.match. Kyle Edmund against 17-year-old Shapovalov. We can join

:57:27. > :57:45.it on a server. The Canadian is serving at 3-4 in the opening set.

:57:46. > :58:02.I would have loved to have seen Andy Murray, trying to get the Raonic

:58:03. > :58:09.serve back on this surface. There is an example of that shot. A plenty of

:58:10. > :58:12.time and should have hit a sliced backhand, went for a full swing

:58:13. > :58:22.backhand from inside the service box. While the -- wild error.

:58:23. > :58:27.Snuck it through beautifully. He thought about the forehand,

:58:28. > :59:14.initially. Solid. Solid point. A well thought

:59:15. > :59:18.out point. Excellent play. Just didn't look like missing in this

:59:19. > :59:25.rally. He had command of the rally from the start. Side to side, gets

:59:26. > :59:33.his opponent on the run and comes in with a backhand volley to finish.

:59:34. > :00:19.UMPIRE: Canada challenging the call on the left sideline.

:00:20. > :00:26.That was way out. You look at it when he had that 15-0 point, he had

:00:27. > :00:32.that comfortable backhand. That is not the best challenge I have ever

:00:33. > :00:34.seen. That was the first wild game we have seen from him on a couple of

:00:35. > :00:38.occasions. He looked like a youngster out on

:00:39. > :00:55.the court in that game. He has worked as hard as anybody,

:00:56. > :02:13.that gentleman. That is what he's capable of. He is

:02:14. > :02:17.fearless, we saw that with a double fault on the break point. He swings

:02:18. > :03:28.at this one. Good recovery, disappointing

:03:29. > :06:00.forehand on the previous point. Second ace of the game seals the

:06:01. > :06:06.opening set the Great Britain. SUE BARKER: So, advantage Great

:06:07. > :06:09.Britain as Edmonds takes the opening set, showing he is in much better

:06:10. > :06:36.form that his opening match. We pick-up the second at 3-3.

:06:37. > :06:45.UMPIRE: Let first service. He has broken, but in all the other service

:06:46. > :06:46.games, he has only lost six points, this man, and two of them were

:06:47. > :08:44.double faults. UMPIRE: New balls, please.

:08:45. > :08:53.They enjoyed it, he enjoyed it, he is 4-3 up, second set. Here we go.

:08:54. > :08:57.Let's treat ourselves to another look at these backhands. Two coming

:08:58. > :09:01.up, there is one. UMPIRE: Time.

:09:02. > :09:13.He is loving this. A challenge. New balls in play for Edmund. 3-4,

:09:14. > :09:36.second set. To refuse of them. -- terrific use

:09:37. > :11:06.of the. UMPIRE: Let, first service.

:11:07. > :11:10.He has won ten points in a row on serve. Just that double fault on the

:11:11. > :11:17.fourth game of this set. It puts pressure on the opponent.

:11:18. > :12:41.Not getting anywhere near. Great hustle from Kyle Edmund in

:12:42. > :12:43.that point, he had to eat deep for that backhand corner to stay in

:12:44. > :13:08.there, forging himself a chance. Well, one break in the first set

:13:09. > :13:53.came at the business end. Three chances for a repeat here.

:13:54. > :14:35.Kyle Edmund will serve for a two sets to love lead.

:14:36. > :14:44.Still under an hour. Edmund gets ready to serve for a two sets to

:14:45. > :15:33.love lead. 5-4, second set. That is 13 points in a row on serve.

:15:34. > :17:11.13! It's a commanding position. He's

:17:12. > :17:17.stepped up, Kyle Edmund, so far in terrific style. The 17-year-old has

:17:18. > :17:24.got to come from two sets down to win. That's a very tall order.

:17:25. > :17:26.SUE BARKER: Edmund in superb form, very much in charge of the match. We

:17:27. > :19:02.rejoin the third set at 1-1. If you blink, you missed two points

:19:03. > :19:49.it is so quick, it is unbelievable. One hour and 13 minutes. Nadal

:19:50. > :19:53.winning a set 6-2 takes longer than that! He takes longer to walk on the

:19:54. > :20:15.court than that! Edmund pushing for another break-in,

:20:16. > :20:28.earlier on in the set, this time. This is a huge test now.

:20:29. > :20:42.From that position in the court, that was a two out of ten chance on

:20:43. > :20:57.that backhand. Terrific from Edmund, he breaks

:20:58. > :21:04.early. Oh, oh. He meant to hit that out of the stand. Did he hit the

:21:05. > :21:10.umpire there. The referee is rushing to the court. Oh, boy. This has got

:21:11. > :21:18.to be a disqualification. The audiences stunned into silence. That

:21:19. > :21:20.is the incident, oh, I tell you. It looks worse the second time you see

:21:21. > :21:32.it. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, game,

:21:33. > :21:37.set and match, Great Britain, 6-3, 6-4, 4-1 default.

:21:38. > :21:41.What a shame that that would end this way. It looked like Kyle Edmund

:21:42. > :21:51.would get the win, but to win like this. Such a shame. He has no

:21:52. > :21:59.choice, unfortunately. The umpire doesn't want this tie to be finished

:22:00. > :22:06.this way. But that could be serious. You could lose... I mean, when a

:22:07. > :22:11.ball gets hit at that pace, obviously he didn't see it coming.

:22:12. > :22:20.There could be all sorts of damage to the retina and staff. I have had

:22:21. > :22:26.it myself, and I know. It's closing up, it is terrible. There is a

:22:27. > :22:31.stunned feel to the end of this tie. Great Britain are through to the

:22:32. > :22:35.quarterfinals. It was a strange way to finish, I have never been part of

:22:36. > :22:39.something like that, but I was looking on the positive side, I was

:22:40. > :22:46.pleased with how I was going about the processes, especially up on the

:22:47. > :22:53.last match, I improved my game. So yes, today I came out, and I had on

:22:54. > :22:57.paper the advantage, but we don't play on paper, we are playing on

:22:58. > :23:03.hard court, and in a pressure environment, especially in the Davis

:23:04. > :23:07.Cup, a lot can happen. The first thing that comes through my mind,

:23:08. > :23:11.there is always a lesson to be learned from the good moments and

:23:12. > :23:19.the worst. If he wants to compete at this level, he has got to keep it

:23:20. > :23:21.together at all cost, under all circumstances, and emotional control

:23:22. > :23:27.is the biggest factor in this game. And so hopefully, if there is no

:23:28. > :23:33.damage to the referee, he can learn from that and learn his lesson to

:23:34. > :23:39.move forward and hopefully this lesson serves him for the rest of

:23:40. > :23:44.his career to just control your emotions. It's only a tennis match.

:23:45. > :23:49.A surprise what happened at the end there, and it's a shame that it has

:23:50. > :23:53.happen that way, and I feel for the young lad, because he's a great

:23:54. > :24:01.talent and he's learned a lesson today. But what I would say is I

:24:02. > :24:05.thought Kyle from what we saw on Friday to come out today against a

:24:06. > :24:07.lower ranked player, he was absolutely fantastic, the way he

:24:08. > :24:12.prepared for the match, having commanded the points, he was

:24:13. > :24:17.unbelievable serving, and kept applying pressure on the terms, I

:24:18. > :24:27.thought it was a great performance, and even though Evans lost the first

:24:28. > :24:33.match, against Pospisil, he played it well, good fight. And an away tie

:24:34. > :24:37.again, does that make things more difficult or are you starting to

:24:38. > :24:42.enjoy life on the road? We do prefer home ties, but we had a good run at

:24:43. > :24:48.home ourselves over the last few years. It is obviously the strongest

:24:49. > :24:54.team in the competition, France, in terms of strength and depth, but we

:24:55. > :24:55.will enjoy this just now, and we will figure that one out as it comes

:24:56. > :25:00.along. SUE BARKER: Certainly not the way

:25:01. > :25:04.that Leon on the team would have wanted to win the tie, but they are

:25:05. > :25:08.through to the quarterfinals to face France away. You will be able to see

:25:09. > :25:13.that with us from the seventh to the night of April. What a dramatic

:25:14. > :25:19.conclusion to the match. We have seen defaults in the past, but never

:25:20. > :25:25.one so serious. No, that was serious, and we don't know yet

:25:26. > :25:29.exactly how the amp I's Ahye is turning out, we could see it was

:25:30. > :25:35.already closing, and we don't know about permanent damage until he sees

:25:36. > :25:38.the doctor. It was a violent end, and obviously he didn't mean to do

:25:39. > :25:45.it, but it was a devastating thing. Jamie Cullum you have seen a comment

:25:46. > :25:49.from the umpire's sister? Yes, they were on the way to the hospital to

:25:50. > :25:56.get checked out, but she said he was OK but I don't think any test had

:25:57. > :26:00.been done. And the young man, Denis Shapovalov, has released a statement

:26:01. > :26:02.where he says, I would like to begin by apologising to the umpire, the

:26:03. > :26:20.referee and all ITF officials. And we heard that straight after he

:26:21. > :26:25.went in to speak to the umpire again who was having treatment in the

:26:26. > :26:30.umpires' room. A harsh lesson, but how'd you come back from something

:26:31. > :26:34.like this? It was devastating for him, he let his country down, let

:26:35. > :26:39.himself down, and the umpire, it could have caused serious damage. He

:26:40. > :26:43.will do, he will realise that he can't do that sort of stuff again,

:26:44. > :26:49.he will get a lot of trouble in the press for this, quite rightly so, as

:26:50. > :26:53.he deserves it, but he will rebound. On the bright side, we have seen

:26:54. > :26:55.some undoubted talent in him, so if he can control it, there is nothing

:26:56. > :27:00.wrong with getting emotional, we have seen great champions get

:27:01. > :27:08.emotional, John McEnroe springs to mind, but you can't go to that

:27:09. > :27:12.extent, and he will have to curb it. There are umpires calling for more

:27:13. > :27:19.of a ban. I don't fit this story has ended yet, it will run and run.

:27:20. > :27:24.There was no sign, he hasn't been particularly bad tempered throughout

:27:25. > :27:28.the tie. Clearly having control in these high-pressure situations is so

:27:29. > :27:33.important, and this was just a freak accident. Thankfully we don't see it

:27:34. > :27:37.very often, but when we do it is pretty shocking. And what was

:27:38. > :27:41.shocking, it hit the umpire at full pace, but if the umpire had ducked,

:27:42. > :27:46.it would have hit someone in the crowd, it was going that fast. He

:27:47. > :27:49.would have got defaulted whatever happened, unless he got lucky and

:27:50. > :27:53.hit a chair or something without hitting a person, but you can't do

:27:54. > :27:58.that sort of stuff. Why didn't he hit the ball up in the air? The

:27:59. > :28:04.trajectory, it could have done serious damage. I don't know whether

:28:05. > :28:08.we want to see it again, but this is it in slow motion, and as you say,

:28:09. > :28:13.the umpire was looking down, he was about to call the score, so he

:28:14. > :28:17.wouldn't have seen anything, but you could see afterwards, he was

:28:18. > :28:22.shaking, the shock of it all. And you could see afterwards, this young

:28:23. > :28:27.man, it was a fit of rage, but I think it is going to take some time

:28:28. > :28:30.for him to get over this. Absolutely, who knows what could

:28:31. > :28:33.happen. You hate to hear this, but you could even have lawsuits,

:28:34. > :28:39.anything could happen after something like that. The first step

:28:40. > :28:44.is to hope the umpire is OK, and that will help the recovery process.

:28:45. > :28:49.Definitely, a sad end to the Davis Cup tie, and a 17-year-old learned a

:28:50. > :28:54.very harsh lesson today. We certainly wish Arnaud Gabas a speedy

:28:55. > :28:57.recovery. That is it from the Davis Cup, sorry we had to end like that,

:28:58. > :28:59.but that's it from us. Goodbye.
