I'd like to see him play in the Davis Cup Semi given how well he has played this summer

We have two eligible players in the top 100, even if Andy doesn't play, and you want Willis to play based on him doing well in one tournament. Tennis is 12 months a year, not just Wimbledon, it would be ridiculous if Willis played and there's no chance a captain of Leon Smith's class will even consider it

The match against Argentina is actually the semi-final and it will be played in September.
It's a little premature to be talking about the final in November.

By all accounts Murray wants to play in the Argentina match up.

how close is the semi final to ATP tour finals? Then again there can't be that much time between Olympics and US Open

No idea I'm afraid. Aren't the tour finals usually around December?

SF September 16-18. Tour Finals begin November 13 lasting a week. Davis Cup Final starts November 25.

e have beaten Argentina the last three times we have met, the last being in 2008 in Buenos Aires where they didn't drop a set against. Sounds like Del Potro was on hot form with a five set doubles victory with Pella. I doubt there is a surface that would Del Potro would be ineffective on. I was surprised how the clay broke up in Serbia.

Jo Konta is in her 1st WTA final at Standford in USA. She plays Venus Williams tonight
