Just thought i'd give the Davis Cup a wee mention on here.
Tim Henman and Andy Murray have put Britain 2-0 up against Croatia after they both won their singles ties.
Murray won a 5 set match against world 108 Marin Cilic to put GB 1-0 up and then Tim Henman beat Roko Karanusic who is 164 in the world rankings in straight sets to double Britain's lead.
The Murray brothers are in action tomorrow in the doubles.

Great stuff, will have to get the old Union Flag back out yet again, well done chaps.
I started watching some of today's doubles ..Jamie Murray & Tim Henman (in his last, last game at Wimbledon - unless he reappears tomorrow :wink: )
against two lowly ranked Croatians. Although GB came through 3-1 some of the tennis was magnificent,
Big centre ourt crowd of real people for a change, away supporters and a cracking atmosphere.
Some good shots, bad shots and unlucky shots made for exciting action.
And nice to see Henman make the match winning shot.Quote:

Let's hope Andy Murray can now take that mantle on and up! :agree:
I was at the Davis Cup on Friday (and Toaods, it was actually court 1 :wink:) and it was a great atmosphere, the tennis was pretty good as well. Murray made a bit of a meal of his match (went to 5 sets) which made it more exciting.
Really liked Wimbledon, first time I've been, but I reckon I'll go back some time in the near future. Worth a visit.
Shame Croatia only managed to put out their 4th and 5th choice players, but I'm sure John Lloyd and his team weren't complaining! :greengrin
