Del Potro is a fantastic player on hard courts. This could go five sets and end up being a very long day.

He is, it has and they won't finish until late tonight - Edmund v Pella.

Got the weekend off to a flyer with some beer money.

Just as well they've introduced 5th set tie-breaks in The David Cup this year, otherwise, to paraphrase Alan Partridge on 'The Day Today' - The match between Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro could not be stopped.

This is an epic.

Useless scot

 

[ManOfSussex]

Kyle Edmund to the rescue.

Del Potro has now beaten Nadal, Wawrinka, Djokovic and now Murray over the summer. He's back with a vengeance.

Sounds like another epic. The tennis final at the Olympics was the highlight for me.

 

[ManOfSussex]

The Johannesburg born Kyle Edmund has lost in the 2nd rubber, following on from the Scotsman Andy Murray's earlier defeat. Great Britain trail Argentina 2-0 after the 1st day.

...and have lost the semi-final.

If he stays fit, Del Potro is going to be a major player in the Slams next year. He was just a little bit fresher than Murray yesterday and that made all the difference in the fifth set.
