Davis Cup final

One of the reasons for taking on short-priced favourite Switzerland way back in January was the fact that they are basically a two-man team and should either Roger or Stan be injured - and thus unable to play - Switzerland's chance of winning (any) tie would reduce significantly.

Following an epic semi-final between the Swiss pair on Saturday at the O2, Roger was of course forced to withdraw from Sunday's ATP London final and concede the tournament to Djoko. Add to this the alleged animosity between the Davis Cup team mates - following court side comments allegedly made by Mrs Federer during play - and we can deduce that all is not well in the Swiss camp.

At the time of writing it seems that both Swiss players will travel to Lille as planned for the Davis Cup final. However my remaining ante-post selection France (9/2) - best priced 13/8 on Saturday - has narrowed in the betting to 11/10. Encouraging signs at least....
