Bob Bryan, the captain of the US Davis Cup team, showed a range of emotions as his team battled against Great Britain. He stated that he knew this would be the toughest match of their Davis Cup campaign this week given the slow conditions and the home crowd support.
"Oh man, that was an instant classic. We knew it was going to be a barn-burner. The courts are slow and we expected physical matches. Our guys were playing great in practice but know those guys have been here a while and they're really dialled in. The crowd was great, and we're just happy to get through. We've got some more tough times ahead, and I expect Team GB is going to do the business in their matches," He said.
