- Wally Masur insists Australia's Davis Cup hopes are still alive after Andy and Jamie Murray defeated Lleyton Hewitt and Samuel Groth in an epic doubles battle to move Great Britain 2-1 ahead in their semi-final. World number three Andy and his older brother Jamie recovered from a set down to secure a thrilling 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6/8), 6-4 victory in a four-hour match. But Australian captain Masur has belief his side can still clinch a first final berth since 2006. "Obviously that was tough to take but we're still in this," Masur said. "We just lost by a set in the best of a five set match so we're still in it up to our ears." Andy Murray can clinch the tie if he beats Bernard Tomic in the first of Sunday's final two singles matches.
