Great Britain need to win one of Sundays singles matches against Serbia to reach the Davis Cup semifinals after Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot won the doubles rubber in Belgrade.The defending champions led overnight thanks to Kyle Edmunds convincing victory over Janko Tipsarevic but James Ward was just as well beaten by Dusan Lajovic in the delayed second rubber played on Saturday afternoon.That left the tie firmly in the balance, with the doubles rubber seen as crucial to both teams hopes, but especially to those of Britain.There were plenty of nerves on show but the British pair recovered from a wobble at the end of the second set and the start of the third to win 6-1, 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-4.Murray and Inglot had only played one previous Davis Cup rubber together before, losing to Americas Bryan brothers in the opening round last year.The Murray brothers teamed up for the rest of the title-winning campaign, leaving Inglot sitting on the sidelines and still waiting for his first victory in the competition.That was expected to come here, with Serbia fielding Nenad Zimonjic, a classy but fading doubles force at the age of 40, and the inexperienced Filip Krajinovic. The Serbians had named Tipsarevic in their doubles pair at the draw on Thursday but he revealed after Fridays match that he was struggling with illness.He hinted that Krajinovic, who had not played a match since May because of injury, was also far from 100 percent, and the 24-year-old looked distinctly rusty as Britain raced through the opening set with the sun finally shining over the Tasmajdan Stadium.Murray and Inglot had chances in the second set, too, missing four break points, and Zimonjic took full advantage in the tie-break. The start of the third set was the key to the match, with Serbia now playing confidently, and both Inglot and Murray came under pressure on their serves.But they weathered it and finally ended a run of nine unconverted break points when Zimonjic double-faulted to trail 5-3. Britain made it five games in a row to lead 2-0 in the fourth and survived a nervy last service game from Inglot to make it 15 doubles victories from the last 17 rubbers.Earlier, Ward, whose ranking has slipped to 240, played like a man lacking in form and confidence as he went down 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 to world No.81 Lajovic.Edmund will have the chance to win the tie when he takes on Lajovic, the Serbian No.1 in the absence of Novak Djokovic and Troicki, in what looks a very tough match to call. A Lajovic win would send the tie into a decisive fifth rubber between Ward and either Tipsarevic or Krajinovic.

LOS ANGELES -- Former football star Tim Tebow held a tryout for Major League Baseball teams Tuesday in Los Angeles, showing off a powerful bat and a few areas of needed improvement, as scouts and media diligently chronicled his efforts to make a bold foray into a new sport at age 29.Tebow got mixed reviews after a workout that lasted more than two hours before an audience of 28 MLB teams at Rod Dedeaux Field on the campus of the University of Southern California. Only the Chicago Cubs and the Oakland Athletics didnt attend.Tebows heavily muscled, 255-pound physique and 6.70-ish time in the 60-yard dash were impressive to the scouts. He also showed undeniable hitting ability with a series of line drives and long homers during batting practice.But Tebow also showed he still needs baseball seasoning when he faced live pitching from former big leaguers David Aardsma and Chad Smith, who repeatedly fooled him with off-speed pitches. Tebow could only grin in frustration after he fanned on a series of changeups and breaking balls.There is 100 percent nerves, no question about it, Tebow said. When youre at the combine or a pro day, you have your body of work for four years, everything that you did, so its not just that one day. Here, you might have seen me when I was 17, but you havent seen me since. A lot goes into it, so youd better show something. A lot of nerves, a lot of pressure, for sure.Tebow, who is attempting to rekindle a baseball career that ended when he was a high school junior in suburban Jacksonville, Florida, in 2005, told reporters that hes determined to pursue baseball as hard as he can and hes not afraid of failing.This isnt about publicity, Tebow said. Its definitely not about money. I took a pay cut to do this. For me, you pursue what you love regardless of what else happens. If you fail or fall flat on your face, and thats the worst thing that can happen, its OK. When did pursuing what you love become such a bad thing? Ill make all the sacrifices to be the best I can.Aardsma, who pitched to Tebow in a private workout last week, said Tuesdays performance wasnt Tebows best.Today was the worst Ive seen him, Aardsma said to the Los Angeeles Times.ddddddddddddIt looked like he was trying really hard, overswinging a bit. Its what you do when youve got 200 people and cameras everywhere and youre the only guy theyre watching.?According to one scout, Tebow showed a below-average 40 grade arm on the 20-80 scouts scale. Tebow caught everything hit to him during shagging, but struggled with his footwork a couple of times.A few big league teams talked privately with Tebow after the workout, and he seems unlikely to have trouble finding an organization willing to give a chance to a celebrity with clear baseball ability, however rudimentary.Tebow realizes he is still far from the big leagues, but he hopes to play in the instructional league in Arizona next month before heading into winter league ball, perhaps even in Latin America.Tebows pursuit of a baseball career has elicited strong reactions pro and con. Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter and outfielder Adam Jones are among those whove made comments or social media posts either poking fun at or disparaging his attempts to play baseball after an 11-year absence from the sport.Conversely, Aardsma and former big league slugger Gary Sheffield have pronounced themselves pleasantly surprised by Tebows progress as a hitter.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who teamed with Tebow to bring Florida national football titles in 2006 and 2008, called Tebow an incredible high school baseball player whose quest to play the sport professionally should be taken seriously.Im very biased, and everybody knows that, but dont count him out, Meyer told ESPN.com Monday.Tebow has been working out since late May with former big league catcher Chad Moeller, who runs a baseball school in Scottsdale, Arizona. Moeller said he has spent about 80 hours with Tebow working on hitting and fielding and talking baseball over the past three months.From what Ive seen and have continued to see, people will be surprised, Moeller said before the workout. Theyll be more than surprised.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?
