Great Britain to wait on Andy Murray’s fitness as Davis Cup quarter-final with Germany awaits – The Telegraph

Evanss problem has been his relative lack of power. He is only 5ft 9in tall, and on Thursday he was bullied out of the way by Alexander Bublik, a 6ft 6in beanpole who hits both his first serve and second serve at maximum power.

I've played two huge guys who have served well [the first being the Netherlands 6ft 3in Robin Haase] and I just haven't come out on top, said a disconsolate Evans afterwards. If I'm needed again, I'll put my game on the court and try to get us through. If I'm not, I'll be there on the side supporting.

The No 1 German player, Jan-Lennard Struff, is another 6ft 4in slugger. If he ends up playing Edmund on Friday night, as expected, it will be an alpha-male showdown between two heavy-hitters. The doubles, too, will be tough to call.

Jamie Murray and his regular partner, Davis Cup debutant Neal Skupski, saved the team again with a 6-1, 6-4 win over the less well-acquainted combination of Bublik and Kukushkin. But the Germans can field Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies, this years French Open champions.

Penalties cannot decide the outcome of Friday'squarter-final, but no-one would be surprised if the whole shooting match went down to a first-to-seven-point tie-break in the deciding doubles rubber which is effectively the same thing. With any luck, Murray and Skupski wont end up feeling like Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle.
