Davis Cup Final Day 2 - Herbert/Mahut Keep French Hopes (And The Old Davis Cup Format) Alive; Will A Miracle Happen?

Davis Cup Final Day 2 - Herbert/Mahut Keep French Hopes (And The Old Davis Cup Format) Alive; Will A Miracle Happen?

The 2018 Davis Cup Final will head into Sunday with the tie still in the balance after Saturday’s doubles rubber delivered a thrilling match and a crucial point for France.

On The Tennis Podcast, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert’s victory over Ivan Dodig and Mate Pavic, and we hear from Yannick Noah who explains why he was moved to tears during La Marseillaise.

What gave the French pair the edge? How was the atmosphere different from the opening day? What caused the fourth set aggro? What is it about doubles that suits Davis Cup so well? And, with today’s best-of-five set doubles match being the last of its kind in a Davis Cup final, what are some of the best doubles matches in the competition’s history?

Looking ahead to Sunday, David, Catherine and Matt agree that Noah will surely select Lucas Pouille. But might he also be tempted to pick Herbert? And how likely is it that France can pull off the comeback?

The reverse singles action in the final of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas starts at 12pm GMT on Sunday, with France needing to win both matches. To watch a stream in the UK, go to www.daviscup.com.
