Aussie davis cup was terrible both had breaks in the 3rd and Ducky even had match point.

We should win the doubles but reverse singles has huge pressure now.

Congrats to Dane he keeps climbing up the rankings by doing it the hard earned way as well.

Talia is heading to get a rankings high but should be looking to play more outside of Australia soon, has alot of potential if she clicks.

Ajla reflects on her mental battles with the sport

 

[upthetigers]

High quality match. Rybakina continues her good AO form at Doha. Some very big hitting. Isn't it good watching female players who don't grunt like Sabalenka?

Australia will face

Poland on home soil in September.

The Aussies need a win to get back in the World Group, to have any chance of winning the Davis Cup in 2027.
