Lickszz   10 #1 Posted September 26, 2004 Austria defeated Great Britain in the Davis cup which means that Britain will miss out on promotion to the Davis cup world group.  Stefan Koubek ranked 81 in the world of Austria wiped the floor with both Rusedski and Henman ensuring Austria victory.  So, what does this mean for British Tennis?  Perhaps we will have to look forward to Britain's Andrew Murray developing into the next big thing.  By the looks of it he has a good pedigree.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/us_open_2004/3650264.stm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ladyovmanor   10 #3 Posted September 27, 2004 Spose the strength in depth thing is the real issue - but maybe Bates should have put sum faith in the young 'uns to play the doubles match (as henman/rusedski lost anyway) which would have meant Rusedski getting some rest for the final match - as koubek (sp?) did.

Jonathon Marray is still kicking about somewhere. Although he was making reasonable progress through the rankings I would not consider him the saviour of British tennis.
