Cameron Norrie then defeated Nicolai Budkov Kjaer 6-4 6-4 to take 2-0 lead going into the second day. With one of the world's top doubles pairings in Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, we would be forgiven for thinking it would be foregone conclusion Durasovic and Kjaer put in a great fight before the Brits prevaied 6-2 2-6 7-6 to seal the tie. Jabo Fearnley then played dead rubber against Kjaer and won 3-6 6-3 10-7. On Sunday the Brits found out their next opponent would be after they defeated 3-0. Worth saying that Ecuador are the lowest ranked team left in the competition.

What's the preference for the semis - or ? Instinctively think Sweden would be 'easier' but they seem to be playing a lot better since the stones were treated.

So if defeats tomorrow the final ranking would be and the semis would be v and v If defeats the final ranking would and the semis would be v and v Is that right?

According to the stats Gallant is the strongest player on the ice.

's path to Davis Cup finals looks like it could be easier than expected as currently leading 2-0 and are just 1 game away from taking the doubles.

Probably the best performance we've seen from the pair so far - despite the fact that the match had the worst end they've played in the tournament.

Surely the BBC could have stuck with the curling for the 7th end of the mixed doubles rather than cutting to studio chat about the downhill. Sums up everything that is wrong with BBC coverage of sport - too much talking heads and not enough actual sport

Both Raducanu and Boulter into finals - can't imagine we've had too many occasions when have had finalists in multiple events in the same week. And by reaching the finals, Raducanu overtakes Leylah Fernandez which I think is the first time since 2022 that she's been ranked ahead of the player she defeated in the US Open final.
