David Cup Final

***Golden Bear*** · 28-11-2015 02:36 PM

1 set each. Anybody's game this one.

***Jim44*** · 28-11-2015 03:15 PM

GB 2 sets to one.

**Pretty Boy** · 28-11-2015 03:54 PM

Britain serving for the match.

Can't decide if the atmosphere looks good or like a bunch of annoying students on a jolly.

**Pretty Boy** · 28-11-2015 03:59 PM

And that's that.

Barring a shock that should be the cup in the bag.

You sound like a BBC commentator.

I think each rubber could go either way (albeit with us being strong favourites in one and underdogs in another).

Would prefer to see Murray on last but you're right, we should win now.

Loved Jamie Murray's comment when a reporter said to him in the post match interview "It must be reassuring for you both in an atmosphere like that to look round and see your brother standing there." His reply... "Well it is for me but probably not for him!"

Fantastic! He's got a decent sense of humour!

It IS a bunch of annoying students on a jolly! The Stirling Univ Barmy Army to be precise. We certainly didn't behave like that when I was there. Most uncool.

A tennis ratings tweeter (quite shrewd) thinks Edmund is a strong fav against Bemelmans. He said this before the tie got underway. Bookies seem to agree.

I can't see the name Edmund without thinking of Boackadder. Sorry.

Cough cough I guess!

I was assuming it'll be Darcis.

Edmund has a good chance of beating him as well but would expect Darcis to be favourite.

**Sir David Gray** · 29-11-2015 11:56 AM

Set number one in the bag, 6-3.

Two more to go for history to be made.

So impressed by Murray here, the guy's a legend.

***GreenLake*** · 29-11-2015 01:05 PM

Tough second set but Murray has him on the ropes

**Sir David Gray** · 29-11-2015 01:11 PM

Set number two to GB, 7-5.

One more to go!

What a shot to win that last point.

**Andy74** · 29-11-2015 01:54 PM

Commentators reeling off a list of English sporting achievements and thanking the English county coaches and volunteers.

Aye, that's great. It's a GB team with two Scots getting the only points!

**Treadstone** · 29-11-2015 01:57 PM

Andrew Castle is horrendous.

**Sir David Gray** · 29-11-2015 02:02 PM

Murray wins 6-3 7-5 6-3 and GB have won the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936.

Brilliant effort by the whole team. The rise of team GB since they were in the doldrums in 2010 has been incredible.

***easty*** · 29-11-2015 02:04 PM

What a shot to win it as well! Brilliant!

**jodjam** · 29-11-2015 02:09 PM

Tintin , Poirot, Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Merckx. Your boys took one hell of a beating

Zzzzzzzzzzz and they get plenty of credit for doing so,your observations and those like you are becoming so boring and predictable where a GB team involving Scots is involved, get over it FFS.

Delighted for Murray. Really feel that he does not get the credit he deserves.

Some of my friends and the press always seem to say that he is a bottler etc when it comes to the later stages in tournaments!

He is playing in a era with probably the best two players of all time in Federer and Djokovic with Nadal perhaps a close third ( even with all of his injuries).

Without looking at his grand slam record he only ever seems to get beaten by the above three in the semi or final. Add to this the grand slams that he has won and the Olympics, as well as the fact that he has a few years ahead of him then I think history will be a lot kinder to him than his current treatment by some.

He's one of the greatest Scottish athletes of all time.

How anyone can criticise him after all that he's achieved over the past three or four years is beyond me.
