In the lead up to one of the biggest Davis cup ties played in the last few years, who do you reckon Wally should bring into the side and how should he play them?

We have to keep the doubs the same as last time and then maybe have Groth play the singles instead of Krygios because you don't know if he'll try his hardest
Good call...
Aus Davis Cup team for the match against GB in a week and a half:
Hewitt
Groth
Kokkinakis
Tomic
No Kyrgios

Should be Hewitt and Groth for the doubs. With Groth and Tomic for the singles
What surface will the tie be played on?
Hard indoor in Glasgow.
GB clear favourite with Murray in the team. Can't see him losing a singles, and then the reverse singles are no guarantee for us.

If Grothy plays the singles we have a chance of winning his singles against Ward and the same with Berny. My bet is that the tie will be decided by the winner of the doubs

How does everyone think we'll go with Edmund as their 2nd singles player?
Will basically come down to whoever wins the doubles
Ward in form would have been a harder proposition but 8 losses in a row shows you where he is currently at hence why they picked Edmund.
I'm was hoping Andy might get to play Lleyton in a singles match that would of been awesome. Glasgow is a great city to hold a tie. At least it will be shown on Ch 7 with crap commentators.

They still could play against each other if Lleyton plays the reverse singles again.

As #1 Murray will be scheduled to play the 4th tie against Bernie. The only way Lleyton ends up playing that tie is if we have already lost 0-3.
If it ends up 2-2 after 4 ties then it becomes a very interesting decision as to who plays Edmund in a live rubber between Hewitt, Groth and the Kokk.
I'd like to see
Day 1:
Tomic v Edmund (easy win for Bernie, fresh for Day 3)
Kokkinakis v Murray (aim is to push Murray, tire him for Day 3 to give Bernie a genuine shot)
Day 2:
Hewitt/Groth v Murray/Murray (Not expecting Inglot to play, hopefully win this in straight sets so Hewitt is an option for Day 3, or if we lose then at least tire Andy more with a long match)
Day 3:
Tomic v Murray (Hopefully Murray is buggered and Tomic gets him with fresh legs)
Hewitt or Kokk v Edmund (The tie on the line, the pressure, this suits Hewitt, if he hasn't recovered well enough then Kokk plays but Hewitt performs so well in this situation)
Day 1:
Tomic v Edmund (easy win for Bernie, fresh for Day 3)
Kokkinakis v Murray (aim is to push Murray, tire him for Day 3 to give Bernie a genuine shot)
Day 2:
Hewitt/Groth v Murray/Murray (Not expecting Inglot to play, hopefully win this in straight sets so Hewitt is an option for Day 3, or if we lose then at least tire Andy more with a long match)

I don't know what sort of player Edmund is but I read the courts will potentially be quite slow for indoor hard. You'd think that suits Kokk the most if we head into a live 5th rubber. I'd only consider Lleyton if Edmund was a big lug servebot, the type of player Hewitt eats for breakfast.

Apparently Edmund has hurt his ankle - can only help !

Does anyone know much about Dan Evans, other than his ranking?
Waste of talent. Imagine an inferior David Ferrer with Tomic's partying ways. Dangerous player though. Has beaten Tomic before at a Slam.

We beat the Czechs (minus Berdych) in the first round. Most of the top players made themselves unavailable this year so here we are with Australia, GB, Belgium and Argentina in the semis.
