The third day of the Davis Cup semifinals will decide who reaches the final, Great Britain or Australia.
A dramatic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4 doubles victory on Saturday gave Britain a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five tie in Glasgow. A victory from Andy Murray on Sunday would be a historic one, sending his side to the Davis Cup final for the first time since 1978.
Standing in his way is a familiar foe in Bernard Tomic. A free live stream of the contest scheduled for 7:55 a.m. ET can be found here.
For Murray, it's all about recovery. Especially after a taxing contest not 24 hours ago. Fortunately, this isn't uncharted territory for the 28-year-old.
"I had a quick match on Friday and rather than the physical toll, it's more the emotional one for me in a match like the doubles," said Murray, per BBC. "I've done it before and I'll try and do it again tomorrow [Sunday]. The longer the match, the less time and the harder it is to recover. Physically it's tough, but also emotionally because matches like that are draining as well.
"I don't think enough is made of that. They're very tough matches to play, a lot of ups and downs. I'll just try and recover as best I can."
