Hope to watch but seriously doubt that I will be able to stay awake.

Katie won in straight sets, Billy Harris lost in 3, Katie and Charles Broom won a close doubles 7-6 7-5.

Good to get the win,playing Australia tomorrow. (not able to view though) De Minaur not currently scheduled for the mixed.

[cazza99]

The GB vs Australia tie starts not before 6.30 am tomorrow.

It is covered on Tennis TV and the Tennis Channel. Interestingly, Tennis TV are covering the women?s matches and the mixed matches.

[Hawkeye]

Katie won easily again, but Billy Harris is a set down to Katie's fiance... so looks like another decider required. If we win we qualify, and if we lose then all 3 teams will have the same record and qualification will come down to the stats.

[Jane]

Billy was beaten and the doubles match is just starting. Nicholls/Broom v Gadechi/de Minaur.

[Stell]

Nicholls and Broom have lost the first set.

[Jane]

Yes, but even if they lose the match Britain will top the group, thanks to Katie's straight sets win.

[Stell]

I know. I've just read it on the ATP website.

[JAMES4578]

At least GB top the group,well done!

[Jane]

GB play Poland tomorrow, starting at 6.30am

[Stell]

Hubert Hurkacz beat Billy Harris 7 - 6 (7 - 3), 7 - 5 today. Iga Swiatek has just broken Katie Boulter's serve in the first game of the final set, after she (Swiatek) lost the first set 6 - 7 (4 - 7) but won the second set 6 - 1.

[Stell]

I thought Swiatek had broken Boulter's serve, as I'd started watching the live scores just as Swiatek won the first game in the final set. It seems the 'bouncing tennis ball' was a bit slow in moving to Boulter. 1 - 1 now.

[Stell]

Swiatek won the final set 6 - 4.

[Hawkeye]

Katie had a break point at 4 all in the decider, then didn't win another point.
