2015 Davis Cup Bracket so far.

This weekend we have Great Britain vs. Australia and Belgium vs. Argentina. Hard to predict either but I'll go with Great Britain and Argentina. Murray is too big of a factor for Australia to overcome and Argentina has the deeper squad I think.

Can the US sink any lower? ;-( Dropping 2 in a row to GB just isn't representing! Who is WARD? ;-(

Sometimes the times are hard in sports, I am just afraid that tennis is not as popular in the USA as some other sports. I hate it when tennis is not the most popular sport everywhere, frankly.

USA will be fighting Uzbekistan to get back in the World Group. No Isner and no Bryans. Going with Sock, Querrey, Johnson, and Young. Could be interesting.

USA still should come out on top. And let's not mock them so much, Spain is also in the B group playing Denmark.

No mocking on my part! I'm actually interested in seeing how this team will do.

I only caught the tail end of Courier's composed rant, but he's not happy with Isner at all! Last week he found out John wouldn't be available; typical! He had his usual good summer run and thinks he can make London! Yeah, right! :cover :nono

Come on Spain, after so many good years and so many "ensaladeras" you deserve to be in better place!

Great Britain replaced Kyle Edmund with ATP #300 Dan Evans. He'll play the No. 2 singles spot. Evans beat Tomic at the 2013 USO in their only meeting.

I would hope GB's luck has run out throwing these "scrubs" in at the last minute and pulling off monumental upsets! If there's any justice, it'll come down to the doubles; just the way it should! :cover :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Any way you look at it, it all rests on Murray. If he has an off day, UK is done. And I heard Murray was feeling "under the weather" and skipped the Davis Cup dinner event.

You are right. It should come down to doubles. Now, tell me the names of the two doubles players for each country.

OK found out myself. It is supposed to be Jamie Murray and Inglot for the Brits and Hewitt & Groth for the aussies.

Also, Fed and Stan want to play doubles on Saturday and get it over with.
