rubber. What could be read into Del Potros short and snappy warm-up on the match court before play began for the day? Or from hi Antworten

GLASGOW, Scotland -- Here in the city of Andy Murrays birth, the locals had hoped that a 29-year-old who came into the world on May 15, 1987, would determine the outcome of this Davis Cup semifinal.Unfortunately, as far as the Glaswegians were concerned, it was the wrong guy who had his moment of personal elevation under the arc-lights with Argentinas Leonardo Mayer -- who shares a birthday with Murray -- defeating Britains Daniel Evans in the decisive fifth rubber.With Murrays earlier victory over Guido Pella, this was all set up for what would have been the greatest comeback in the history of British tennis, after the defending champions had trailed 0-2 after the opening day, and victory for Evans would also have brought about a home final against Croatia in November.But all those hopes, dreams and aspirations, after Britain last year won the competition for the first time since 1936, fizzled out on Mayers strings. The Great Escape of Glasgow? On this occasion, Harry Houdini couldnt slip out of the straitjacket.This feels rough, as it should do, said Leon Smith, the British captain, but weve been on one hell of a run in this competition.Born around 6,500 miles from this hard court in the city of Corrientes, and currently ranked outside the worlds top 100, Mayer will always remember the weekend he spent in Glasgow. In the absence of Juan Martin del Potro, who wasnt in good enough shape to play on Sunday after wearing himself out with the ludicrous decision to play in Saturdays doubles rubber, it was Mayer who stepped up.Ignore his current ranking of No. 114 (he has been as high as 21 in the standings) -- he can certainly play, as he demonstrated by coming from a set down for this 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory inside three hours.As Evans illustrated at the US Open a couple of weeks ago, where he came within a point of beating eventual champion Stan Wawrinka in the third round, he has no shortage of talent. But talent is never enough in the white heat of a fifth rubber of a Davis Cup rubber; did he also have the nerve?So never mind that near-miss against Wawrinka in New York. This was, without equivocation, the biggest occasion in his tennis life. The pressure was getting to everyone, and everything, with the Hawk-Eye line-calling technology malfunctioning deep into this match when Evans wanted to make a challenge.Only twice before in more than a century of Davis Cup tennis had Britain come from 0-2 down to win a tie, and one of those victories, against Russia in Coventry in 2013, had been completed by Evans himself. Still, there is a world of difference between the fifth rubber of a Euro-African Zone and when there is a place in the Davis Cup final on the line. Evans had never previously won a match in the World Group, let alone one of this magnitude.There was another reason why this was at the limit of Evans experience -- and that was the noise. A Glasgow roar is how Leon Smith, the British captain, describes the sound that this tennis crowd have been making all weekend in the east of the city, and its hard to imagine that thousands of Scots have ever greeted an Englishman as enthusiastically as when Evans made his entrance.Its not often that Murray is on the undercard in Glasgow, but this was one such example. And those decibels levels didnt abate. If anything, this arena grew louder, chanting Evo, Evo and so confirming that theres no more excitable tennis crowd in Britain.Only adding to the din was Murray, who after going through his warm-down routine, and fulfilling his postmatch media commitments, joined this late in the opening set.Backstage intrigue is an element of every Davis Cup weekend, especially as you go deeper into the competition, and this tie was no different. All morning, and then throughout Murrays victory over Pella, there were competing rumours and whispers about whether Del Potro would play in a decisive fifth rubber. What could be read into Del Potros short and snappy warm-up on the match court before play began for the day? Or from his absences from the Argentine bench when Murray was closing in for the kill against Pella?It was only after Murray had levelled the tie, and the captains had given their nominations for the final match, that the full absurdity of Del Potro playing doubles was made apparent. At the same time, it was confirmed that Evans would be playing instead of Kyle Edmund, who hadnt been at his best against Pella on Friday evening.Murrays class and willpower overrode the pain and fatigue in his legs as he defeated Pella 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 in just over two hours. Murray wasnt going to let tiredness or injury drag him, and his team, down. This tie came at the end of a long spring and summer in which he played in a first French Open final, scored a second Wimbledon title and retained his status as the Olympic champion.And this weekend could hardly have been busier as prior to playing Pella, he had already spent eight hours on court -- he had never played a match as long as his five-hour defeat by Del Potro on Friday, and Saturdays doubles match was a further three hours of tennis.The only let-up for Pella came in the third set when Murray disappeared for a medical timeout. But he came running back after receiving treatment, and within minutes had completed his victory, leaving the stage for Evans. Unfortunately, it wasnt to be.Kenny Stills Youth Jersey .

But today is different feeling because I made history. Thats why I feel so amazing.The 19-year-old Carta, coming off her freshman season at Duke, overcame a dizzy spell that forced a 15-minute delay after the 31st hole.I mean, I was not feeling good at all, Carta said. I was, like, shaking, and that was not a good feeling.She was trying to become the second player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.I dont think I actually lost the match, the championship, Carta said. Of course, I did not win it, but at the same time, its not like saying I lost today.Seong won her second straight U.S. Girls Junior title last month at Ridgewood in New Jersey.The finalists earned spots in the U.S. Womens Open next year at Trump National in New Jersey, and the winner also traditionally receives exemptions into the ANA Inspiration, Womens British Open and Evian Championship -- if still an amateur.Seong took the lead with a birdie on the par-5 25th hole and won the par-4 29th with a birdie for a 2-up advantage. Carta took the par-4 31st with a par to Seongs double-bogey, and Seong rebounded with a par win on the par-3 34th. Carta won the par-5 35th with a 330-foot birdie putt, and Seong missed a chance to end it when her 10-footer burned the right edge.dddddddddddd Seong ran in a 40-footer for birdie on the par-4 36th and conceded Cartas 25-footer to close out the match.My hands were shaking, Seong said. Im 1 up, and if I lose this hole, I can go to playoff. I just think, Please two-putt, please two-putt. But I made it. Im surprised.Seong became the third female to win multiple USGA championships in the same year. Pearl Sinn won the Womens Amateur and Womens Amateur Public Links in 1988, and Jennifer Song swept the same events in 2009. Seong is 25-4 in USGA match-play championships.Her mother watched her win in person after missing her two Junior victories.Yeah, special to me, Seong said. After 18, she was crying a little bit, but its OK. Shes just happy now.Carta won the NCAA title in May in Oregon as a Duke freshman. She was trying to join Vicki Goetze (1992) as the only players to win the Amateur and NCAA in the same year and the sixth to win both titles. Carta also missed a chance to become the second Italian winner, following Silvia Cavalleri in 1997.In 1910, in the previous all-international final, Dorothy Campbell, a Scot who was living in Canada, beat Englands Mrs. G.M. Martin at Homewood in Illinois.Hannah OSullivan, the Chandler, Arizona, teen who won last year in Portland, Oregon, skipped her title defense. She played last week in the Womens British Open. ' ' '
