It will likely be something like


Murray v Kyrgios
Ward v Tomic

J.Murray/Inglot v Hewitt/Kokkinakis

Murray v Tomic
Ward v Kyrgios

 

[azza]

They are not going to pick Kyrgious for any future ties

 

[Sombrerero loco]

well. i think great britain will get into the final if bernie doesnt play here

 

[JMG]

Kokkinakis even got owned by Ward last year. Probably Groth/Hewitt in doubles and Bernie back in singles.

 

[Dmitry Verdasco]

It should come down to the doubles....

The team will be Hewitt and Groth mate.

 

[TigerTim]

Murray def. Convicts.

 

[Rustie]

Ward can pull off a win here.

 

[Fogmeister]

I doubt Tomic will play for the aussies this year.

Btw, can GBR select clay? Would be the best choice for them I guess.

J.Murray/Inglot v Hewitt/Kokkinakis

this week-end Andy played the double and they were absolutely great.

Honestly if Andy and Jamie play like this week-end, I can't see how the Aussies could beat them, especially how an Aussie pair could beat them in doubles.

I agree with Kateoz that Kyrgios-Kokkinakis might be the best Australian team to win that doubles' tie because as Hewitt's serve seems to be bad from what I heard, it would be too easy for the Murrays. And I don't trust Groth's return either.

Btw, can GBR select clay? Would be the best choice for them I guess.

I'd rather think they will play on a quite slow indoor hardcourt with a quite low bounce.

By the way, as for an hypothetical GB-ARG final, could the Brits play on an indoor grasscourt in the end of november or not ?

When I think about the Australian Davis Cup team, I always remember how the Gooch toyed with Federer and Wawrinka in Davis Cup 4 years ago.

Potentially. You can bet they'd love to stick Delbonis, Monaco, Leo Mayer etc on a slick, quick green surface.

yes, but could they have the infrastructures for an indoor grasscourt in november ?

 

[acacacacademy]

Philippoussis will beat Ward in a deciding rubber.

 

[decrepitude]

I can't see the Aussies leaving Hewitt out of the team in his last year.Who will play the singles is the burning question.

 

[girlygraham]

Wimbledon Centre Court can be indoor.

 

[duong]

Wimbledon Centre Court can be indoor.

that would be huge, but could they get the grass ready in november ?

no doubt if its the DC final (and v. good chance for first win since 1936) the LTA will be pulling out all the stops, it could be epic.

They managed to get the grass ready in 4 weeks for the Olympics

I can't see why they wouldn't play Argentina on grass. If GB progress past Australia they would have two months to get it correct. You would think the grass would be okay considering it is getting rested now.

I think they will play the semi final in Scotland and then if they are to beat Australia they would make Argentina play on grass. None of their players have a grass pedigree barring Juan Martin Del Potro and he wouldn't be fit by then.

If Belgium progressed I think GB would be away.

First and foremost though, we need to beat Australia. Hewitt will be loving this tie. I am not sure we could rely on Andy Murray to play all three ties this time without it having a knock on effect in the singles on the Sunday.

 

[pesto]

I just don't know if the grass can be in suitable condition in winter, even with the roof and lights. How about the O2, if it can be available?

Murray will already be used to that. So might the lesser Murray, if he has a good end of season.

Of course, we will be knocked out by Oz, so it will be academic.
