THE Murray brothers will take on Australian pair Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth in today's crucial doubles rubber in the Davis Cup semi-final, it has been confirmed. With the World No 3 taking just 107 minutes to take care of Thanasi Kokkinakis in Friday's opening singles rubber, coach Leon Smith has taken the decision to alter his nomination for the doubles, where Dominic Inglot had originally been named to accompany Jamie Murray. The elder Murray sibling is in great form himself, having risen to No 8 in the world doubles rankings and reached the last two Grand Slam finals in his chosen discipline. The tie stands at 1-1 after Bernard Tomic's four-set singles win against Dan Evans, with either Belgium or Australia in the final.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
