Powerful new drama starring John Boyega and Letitia WrightAnalysis and opinion from the BBC's tennis correspondent.How to get into tennis - it's fun, will keep you fit and caters for all levels and abilities. What you need to know about the new Davis CupThe outcome of the tie hinged on the success on 33-year-old Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski, his regular partner on the ATP tour but making his Davis Cup debut.With the new format of the Davis Cup finals cutting ties from best-of-five rubbers to the best-of-three, the doubles always had the potential to become more pivotal in their outcomes.That proved to be the case as Andy Murray's laboured win over Dutch world number 179 Griekspoor was followed by Haase's fightback from a set down against British number one Evans.Murray and Skupski, 29, started aggressively against the Dutch pair Koolhof and Rojer, constantly asking questions of their service games while only dropping five points themselves as the teams were locked at 4-4.Finally the British pressure told when Skupski drove a backhand down the line to clinch the break, sealing the opener only after fighting off five break points as Murray served for the set.Murray and Skupski's level dropped as they trailed 4-1 and 5-2 in the second set before the pair won three games in a row for 5-5, then moved within a point of serving for the match as the Dutch scrabbled to save three break points.Again momentum switched as Koolhof and Rojer created two set points in the tie-break, a net cord helping Murray and a fierce return from Skupski keeping them in the set.Undeterred, the British pair continued to play positively and a neat pick-up from Skupski gave them a match point which they converted when Koolhof whacked a forehand wide, sparking jubilant celebrations among the British contingent.Former world number one Murray has not played a competitive match since winning the European Open title in Antwerp more than a month ago and he appeared to struggle physically at times against Griekspoor.Murray revealed before the tournament he was at the heaviest weight of his career after taking a couple of weeks off to spend with his newborn son, adding after this win that he will not put himself "in that position again".While far from appearing overweight in a sluggish first-set performance, it did contribute to a lack of match sharpness as he found the big-hitting Griekspoor hard to handle. Twelve nations have qualified for the inaugural Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Finals in Madrid in November after an absorbing two days of action in the Qualifiers on 1-2 February.
