Rumours abound that ITV 4 have the secondary rights for the USO this year and that they will be making an announcement this week. |

As Berdy withdrew from Rio, Dan Evans was next in line to go but has turned it down. |

He won the second set but lost the match.
If only we had Dan Evans, we could have won all five matches |

That would be disastrous for my sleep pattern/performance at work but amazing in every other way.

![]() Is this the last match to decide the tie Isner has lost the first two sets. What surprised me seeing the score was 2-1 was that the Bryans lost the doubles to Dodig and Cilic - they really aren't the team they were. Not likely but we should hope for a Croatia win - they are the only team we could face at home in the final as France and the US would both be away. Clearly a European tie would suit us more though as it would be just after the world tour finals where Andy and Jamie should be playing. |

Yes - if Isner wins. If he loses to Cilic then it's down to the final rubber between Sock and Coric.

Croatia amazingly won after coming back from 2-0 down - with Coric beating Sock in 4 sets. They now face France at home.

Just up, shocked at the US losing. I was looking forward to a final in the US, I didn't go to Belgrade to save pennies for the US.
Manchester appears to be out for our semi, looks like either Birmingham or Glasgow. Hope the LTA get the there act together this year and get the tickets on sale quickly. |

Pleased that Dom and Colin Fleming are in Olympic squad. Means a lot to them I'm sure. Dan Evans didn't want to disrupt his schedule. Was he injured for DC or didn't want to play?

I see Dominic Thiem is continuing to run himself ragged: the only player in the Top 15 active this week. Fair play to him for winning a few events this year but think he needs to manage his schedule a bit more.
Then again, it is his home event... Weirdly enough, Thiem is the defending champion in the two other clay events in Croatia and Switzerland this week, but obviously wont be defending them

Hope the LTA go to places they haven't been before to allow people and families who don't have exposure to tennis to watch the likes of Murray in person.
Glasgow/London would be predictable (although a final would be great there), maybe Sheffield or Cardiff? |

The obvious choice, the o2 in London, which will already have been set up for an indoor hard tournament in November, has been booked the week after by no other than Rod Stewart. He aint going to cancel three dates very easily I would have thought
