DAVIS CUP QUARTER
FINALS
GREAT BRITAIN3-2 SERBIA
BRITAIN MIGHT HAVE
ANOTHER GEM ON THEIR HANDS
World No. 2 Andy Murray, who pulled out of the tie after
winning his second Wimbledon title, could afford to watch from the side-lines
and cheer on his teammates as Edmund showed maturity beyond his age at Tasmajdan
stadium’s outdoor red clay
With adverse weather conditions making the surface slow and
heavy, Edmund won both his singles rubbers in straight sets, blowing away Janko
Tipsarevic on Friday before he also brushed aside Dusan Lajovic on Sunday to
give Great Britain a 3-1 lead and seal their semi-final berth.
As expected, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot won Saturday’s
doubles against Nenad Zimonjic and Filip Krajinovic, cancelling out Lajovic’s wins
over James Ward which had levelled the tie at 1-1.
The British now face a home tie against Argentina in
September, who produced a rock-solid performance in a 3-1 away defeat of Italy
after Federico Delbonis beat Andreas Seppi and Fabio Fognini to emulate
Edmund’s accomplishments in Belgrade.
Great Britain have shown in this that there is no one that
they cannot compete against in this tournament and if Andy does come back after
the US Open they could win the Davis cup again but without Andy I still think
that there is a small chance but Kyle Edmond is definitely one to watch out
for.
