Episode description

It was a day of high drama in Malaga as Team USA once again failed to live up to its promise, and Captain Bob Bryan come under intense scrutiny for his team selections. Meanwhile Lleyton Hewitt showed how Captaincy is done, and Jannik Sinner propelled Italy to join Australia in the semis.

Part two (from 45 minutes) - Looking back on a tough night for Lorenzo Musetti but a great one for Italy and in particular Matteo Berretini and Jannik Sinner.

Part three (from 63 minutes) - We look ahead to the first of the semi finals as Germany and the Netherlands face off for what could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
