Sooky Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Clearly intending to take this to 5 sets so Del Potro is knackered and Edmond beats him tomorrow to win the tie 3-2. It'll happen, lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goanjock Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hopefully Andy and Jamie are just trying to wear Del Potro out for tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Fair play to the pair of them for digging out that win. Should still be Argentina to win the tie but if they don't imagine there will be some queries about del potro playing doubles after that long match yesterday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 No way Edmund will beat del po. Tie over... vamos argentina Sounds like it will be Evans but your point still stands. Can't see a win unless del potro gets injured or seriously runs out of gas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Don't understand Argentina playing Del Potro today. A rested Del Potro would routinely beat Edmund or Evans and it would be tie over. Instead he's played 8 hours of tennis in two days and has to come out tomorrow to win it for them (assuming Murray wins). He should manage anyway, but for a guy with his injury record it was a needless risk to take.

peasy23 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Very surprised to put it on today and see Delpo playing. The Argies are in a worse position than GB at doubles in that they don't have any doubles specialists, like GB have with Jamie. Can't blame them for trying to finish the tie asap, they'll be well aware that they can't take anything for granted and that strange things can happen, like Ward beating Isner last year. Can only hope that Andy Murray has enough in the legs to win the first game tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie95 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 See theres talk that Del Potro might not play the 5th rubber, no idea if its true, cant see him not playing if they need the win to decide the tie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to post this. It is surprising, buthe has apparently said that prolonging his career is more important that one match, which everyone has interpreted as him not playing tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard that, but would explain why he played the doubles if true. Knew he wouldn't be playing Sunday so wanted to kill the tie in the doubles. We'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if he wanted a rest the doubles would have been the one to miss.....if only because it was more likely to go to 4 or 5 sets and he would expect to beat either Evans or Edmund in 3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will play. Delpo is a class act.. a 80% fit Delpo would easily beat Evans or Edmund. It would be the same as Andy playing Evans or Edmund. Only 1 winner.Delpo=Murray 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
