It's being recalibrated. Guess these things happen but pretty frustrating to be without it in a match of this importance.
Hotting up now and I'm beginning to :nailbiter:

C'mon, Guys, break now and start serving the third. Easier said than done on this court!

Methinks - with the absence of Hawkeye - the linespeople are perhaps just a little partisan.
I wonder if Nestor will have the energy to go 4 - or 5 - sets.

Great stuff today. Dom was his usual serve-god self, but his volleying was giving me palpitations!

Yeah a couple of disputed line calls went against GB, many feel robbed of that set. Pretty poor to be without hawkeye (inferior) for a match of that status.

I was a bit disappointed at how short most of the points were. I wanted longer rallies. And can I say how impressed I was at Dom?! The only one not to get broken. Cool as a cucumber.

It might have been about how many times Pospisil was having his leg massaged as sometimes it was by the captain and not the qualified trainer. The comms were pointing out he couldn't have had as many if it was a normal match and not DC with a captain on court.

So pleased that Dom had such a great game yesterday. His volleys may have given Hawkeye palpitations but he got some crucial ones in when it counted. It was a great win although I agree that only towards the end were we getting some typical doubles net play. Our fans were awesome and I don't think AMFFers have ever had such media exposure!

I read somewhere that Polansky cannot play as he has not been named in the draw
With over five hours of hard court tennis in his legs already, all eyes are on Pospisil’s hopes of playing a third five-set match in as many days to keep the tie alive. The 26-year-old is slated to face Dan Evans in Sunday’s opening rubber, but required another medical time-out for treatment on his left knee on Saturday.
Canadian captain Martin Laurendeau has the option of turning to Peter Polansky, the top-ranked Canadian in the side.
“We’ll see how Vasek is in the morning,” Laurendeau said. “[Polansky]’s standing by. But if he feels he can, he’s playing in Canada on a good court for him. The crowd gives you extra energy – sometimes the aches and pains, you don’t feel them as much.” TAKEN FROM DC WEBSITE

Good hold Dan. Needed that, wasn't liking how Popsy was starting to strut about

You clearly didn't watch the indoor bowls from Potters with its match deciding 3 end tie-break. ;)

Unfortunately Dan was pegged back but still very much in the set, Popsy though has easy hold for 5-4.

Popsi held that serve far too easily and now Dan has to serve to stay in the set.
Chin up now Dan. Don't let this blip get you down....

Thought Raonic was injured but he appears to be playing right now

A touch of djokovicitus in Popsy's leg. Thought he could hardly walk on Friday.

Wish Popsi would stop serving all those aces.

That will be okay if it is one set all.
Sadly, Popsy has found his first serve with a vengeance - let's just hope he loses it again pdq!
A great point - a pity it went to Canada.
C ' m o n d a n. !!!!!!!!
Come on dan get the break back :)
Popsy's just too good at the moment. Obviously playing for his country has given him the lift he needed. There's not a lot Dan can do at the moment.
