Chen consolidates for 4-2 #ausvtpe #daviscupby TennisAustralia via twitter 2/3/2013 3:30:38 AM -
Ti Chen not looking overwhelmed by the occasion, perhaps with the tie decided the pressure is off allowing him to swing freely? There's a good crowd in today - not as large as yesterday - but around 5-800 people. And, as always, the Fanatics and the Davis Cup Foundation members are in the stands cheering on the green and gold.

Thanks to some early morning rain the players had to wait for the courts to be dried this morning. This limited practice time, which caused the unlikely scenario of the teams both on court together at 10.30 am local time.
-
Conditions today are quite humid and steamy. There's a mist hovering over the stadium, which has cleared a bit, but seems to be adding to the humidity. Thankfully it's not too hot, which should suit Matosevic.
-
He may be down a break but Marinko is chasing everything.
-
Matosevic's opponent today is Ti Chen, currently ranked 210 in the world. This is his 17th Davis Cup tie and his singles record is perfectly balanced - 10-10. Which way will it tip after today's match?
