We did it!
USA 1 GB 3
We were all optimistic before the match but Andy Murray had to do the business! It was another small crowd – it seems that the locals were more interested in watching the Super Bowl (which, by the way, has only just started!) and were not keen to watch when they were likely to lose.
Sam Querry played aggressively, much better than on Friday and gave Murray a few problems. After being a break up twice in the first set, Andy edged the tiebreak. The second set was won by Querry in another tiebreak and it was looking ominous. However Andy came out fast at the beginning of the third set and we began to feel more relaxed! It’s normal to have a few scares watching Davis Cup but Andy was up to the task and he sealed the deal winning 7-6 6-7 6-1 6-3.
We are going back to the Hilton Bayfront this evening for the LTA celebrations drinks!
The next tie will be in Italy on clay on 4 – 6 April. We will know the venue by the middle of February.
