What a perfect start .... now Tsonga has not much pressure. Windy conditions should favour Murray though.

Well he "just" has to push Murray to the 5th set. Heard the French commentators saying that Murray wouldn't play the doubles if his Friday match went tot he 5th.

In my opinion, whoever wins the doubles.

Tsonga and his FH chip returns...Murray starts serving with (much) more safety and Tsonga chips the returns. Seriously...
Well, 2 sets to love for Murray.
Tsonga return sucks. I thought it was because of servers picking on his weak backhand, but after watching this match I've realised his forehand return isn't much better.

Is (Andy) Murray going to play doubles?
Having to rely on Ward if they lose the doubles rubber will be tough
Lukhas

More than the return, it's his awareness that's lacking. He hasn't noticed Murray stopped serving in the 120-130mph range. "Well my shoulder is hot (135+mph range), maybe it's time to be aggressive on the return!" Nah, not even one bit.

I think he almost has to. They (The french) have a very strong doubles team altho one could argue that Jamie more than justified his ability to compete by making the finals at wimbledon. I guess we'll see!

Too late now, but it was on the Red Button (Channel 601 Freeview). Saturday and Sunday are on BBC2 though.

Im so glad someone posted this. Not just for the shot but his reaction after was brilliant, you very rarely see Murray so animated in normal matches but when its for DC he's the total opposite and does stuff like that! Are you not entertained?

Well it was fun being there Shame James couldn't get a set but Muzz sorted us out. Felt a bit sorry for Tsonga, especially when he served but missed the ball - it was impossible not to laugh!

Tomorrow's doubles match is humongous in terms of the whole Davis Cup.
Not really going to be stellar cast for the other semi finalists at his rate... Good chance we will have 3 teams looking for their first ever DC.
Obviously Britain are always hugely vulnerable to defeat to any country due to the make up of their team but still, does whoever win the doubles tomorrow win the Davis Cup?
For me that is the situation with France, tomorrow's doubles may as well be the 5th Rubber of the final. If they win it they get the trophy if they don't, it is all over.
Argies will be tough though...

I like it too, i got afraid when i read Gasquet/Mahut this morning given they didn't even practise together, now I feel better with this team.

Talk Tennis Guru
you can see Mahut is a natural doubles (and grass) player (hopefully not jinxing him)

You mean the doubles match or the tie? If you mean the tie, that was my prediction too on friday that both teams would be 1-1 on saturday morning, and then France would win the doubles...on sunday Murray wins his match and Tsonga or Gasquet wins the deciding match against Ward.
La Grande
G.O.A.T.
The doubles match.. I predicted whoever wins the doubles,wins the tie.. obvious really, Ward will lose both his Matches, Murray will win both his. But yeah, I meant the doubles.. any idea why the French team is seemingly stronger or why Greg (a big help and supporter of GB tennis, heavily involved) would predict a France win? I don't get it, as Jamie Murray is better doubles player than Mahut (I think) and Andy is better player than Jo (Not sure of there doubles results)

The Muzzes get the break in the 2nd. 4-1.

Well IMO Mahut is better than Jamie, I mean he played 2 (that I know) grand slam finals. And obviously he is a better singles player overall than Jamie. And Tsonga being a better serve than Andy i guess that probably explains Rusedski's opinion.

Andy has the trainer out after both Murrays take a tumble
