Thanks Cazza. Gotta love Australia.....4am wake up call for me. Let the fun begin....

[Hawkeye]

Cam beat de Minaur in 3 sets, 6-4 2-6 7-6(2).

[Jan]

That's a great win for Cam! :clap::bravo:

[Hawkeye]

Katie is a set up on Tomljanovic, 6-2.

[Hawkeye]

Katie wins 6-2 6-4, winning the rubber! She and Neal are down to play Hunter/Ebden in the third rubber, which might yet prove important to win in terms of the group, so I don't know if they'll mix things up.

[cazza99]

They lost the doubles in 2 sets.

GB next play against USA on Sunday at 2.00 am UK time.

A few good wins though,well done!

[Hawkeye]

Katie came from a set down to beat Jessica Pegula 5-7 6-4 6-4 in the first rubber.

Cam lost a first set tie break against Fritz.

[Hawkeye]

Fritz won 7-6 6-4.

Boulter/Skupski are down to play Pegula/Fritz in the deciding mixed doubles, so if that is to remain the case Fritz will get some time to rest.

[Hawkeye]

Katie and Neal race through the first set 6-1. Katie is playing lights out!

[Hawkeye]

One set all, 7-6. A match tie break to decide the rubber. Win it and Team GB are through, with a couple of days to rest, lose, and we need Australia to beat the USA tomorrow.

[Hawkeye]

Unfortunately the USA win. So we need Australia to win 2-1 and hope the set differentials go our way too.

[Hawkeye]

De Minaur beats Fritz in straight sets. I've no idea what the qualification scenarios are, other than if Australia win 3-0 they will be through.

[Hawkeye]

I've checked, and apparently Team GB are already eliminated.

[cazza99]

Australia have reached the semis. De Minaur took out Djokovic in the quarters.
