BELGRADE, Serbia -- Titleholder Britain won the doubles to lead Serbia 2-1 in their Davis Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.With Wimbledon champion Andy Murray watching from the team box at the downtown outdoor Tasmajdan Stadium, his older brother Jamie teamed with Dom Inglot to beat Nenad Zimonjic and Filip Krajinovic 6-1, 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-4.In the decisive reverse singles on Sunday, Dusan Lajovic is scheduled to play Kyle Edmund, and Janko Tipsarevic to face James Ward.It definitely helps to be 2-1 up, Britain captain Leon Smith said. It gives you two shots to win.Earlier, Lajovic breezed past Ward 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 to bring Serbia level.Zimonjic, the 40-year-old veteran, dropped his serve twice with double-faults for key breaks in the first and third sets. The second was more damaging as it gave Britain a 5-3 lead and Inglot served out the third set with two consecutive aces.Zimonjics partner, Krajinovic, playing his first Davis Cup doubles, then dropped his serve at the start of the fourth and the Britons never let the advantage slip.Its a pity, said Krajinovic, who played through an injured wrist and a viral infection. I was very tight in the first set but then I relaxed.The Drina March, a popular Serbian World War I marching tune, was played between every game and the Serbs had a break point with Inglot serving for the match.But the Britons saved it, then the Serbs saved one match point when Krajinovic played a great lob. The Britons then got to replay a point because a fan in the stands shouted Out on Inglots serve, and he hit two service winners to clinch the match.I just focused on my thing, Inglot said after his first doubles win in Davis Cup.Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic said Zimonjic was playing on an ankle injury, and he was resting the experienced Tipsarevic for the reverse singles.The idea was to keep him fresh for tomorrow, Obradovic said.The second singles could not be played on the opening day because of rain and was postponed until Saturday, when it also began an hour later than scheduled.But the weather cleared and Lajovic put Serbia back in the tie. He won 10 straight points in breaking Ward at love and holding at love for a decisive 3-1 lead in the third set.In the opening singles, Edmund beat Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-4, 6-0 on Friday.Serbia is without top-ranked Novak Djokovic, while Britain is missing No. 2 Andy Murray.The younger Murray, however, came to Belgrade to support the team from the sidelines, while Djokovic stayed away.Lajovic broke serve in the opening game and that set the tone for the match.A tough start, he didnt do much wrong, Ward said. Its one of the heaviest clay courts Ive ever played on, it doesnt suit my game at all.Its not my ideal surface in slow and heavy conditions. He was just too good today.Lajovic agreed about the condition of the clay court after heavy rains overnight.As soon as you put pressure on your foot, it falls apart, Lajovic said.I was a a little under pressure as we were down 1-0, but he was a little less comfortable. I played a good tactical match. Martell Webster Jersey . Its the second straight game Bell has scored in extra time for Kelowna, which beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals on the season. Geoff Petrie Jersey . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. https://www.cheapblazersonline.com/678i-lionel-hollins-jersey-blazers.html . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Anfernee Simons Jersey . Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. Dave Twardzik Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.After advising Zubayr for the JCB Triumph Hurdle at 16/1 in last weeks blog, Sky Sports News HQs Alex Hammond attempts to pinpoint more value. Colin Tizzard revealed at his stable tour that Theatre Guide had worked well with Cue Card prior to his victory at Kempton on Saturday; does that have any bearing on Cue Cards chances of landing the £1million bonus in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup?Well, as you know, I fancied Theatre Guide for last weeks contest but that was because he was looking well handicapped and I thought the better ground would suit. The fact is he is a smart handicapper and that is some way off Grade 1 class. Thats not to say it wasnt a boost. Tizzard has his team in great form as the festival looms and any win for the yard in a competitive race is a bonus. Id love to see Cue Card win for his likeable connections, but I cant get that niggle out of my mind that you have to really stay to win a Gold Cup. Granted he is staying three miles really well nowadays, but this is three miles two and a half furlongs and up the Cheltenham hill. There are stronger stayers in the race and he may be vulnerable. Zubayr is now one of the favourites for the JCB Triumph Hurdle following his victory in the Adonis Hurdle; is he the horse that you would take out of the race and do you think that he can follow-up at the Festival?I think this years renewal of the Adonis was really strong and as good a trial as we have had for the Triumph on these shores. I was pleased to see Zubayr win in convincing fashion on Saturday. He was bought by bloodstock agent Tom Malone, who is such a good spotter of jumping talent and he had to go to €380,000 to get him for his new owner. Bear in mind trainer Paul Nicholls said the horse had been slow to come to hand and he hadnt even schooled on grass until the day before Kempton, so there will be bags of improvement to come. He isnt a flashy worker by all accounts and in my experience that isnt a bad thing. He turns it on at the track and thats all that matters. Hes now 5/1 second favourite for the Triumph behind Ivanovich Gorbatov, so I hope you got some of the 16/1 I flagged up in last weeks blog! One bet I think is worth having, before everyone else sorts out his handicap runners, is to back Gordon Elliott to be leading trainer at the Cheltenham Festival, in the market without Willie Mullins, for which he is currently a 5/2 chance. The Cheltenham Festival handicap entries were revealed this week, can you give us one handicapper that youre particularly keen on following?Well, you will have to forgive me because the weights only came out on Wednesday this week for the handicaps and Ive set aside Saturday and Sunday this weekend to have a good look at the Cheltenham races. For those of you coming along to the Sky Bet Cheltenham preview evening in Leeds next Wednesday I should have them sorted out by then! If not, Ill be getting it down in writing for you later on next week.The stable tours and Festival preview nights are in full swing, have you picked up any gems from the wealth of information?Last week I highlighted My Tent Or Yours in the Champion Hurdle and Bloody Mary in the new mares novice hurdle race from Nicky Hendersons stable and I havent seen or heard anything to change my mind on that score. My Tent Or Yours is still 7/1 with Sky Bet and Bloody Mary is now 10/1 from 12s with the same firm having attracted some each way support for the new Thursday race (including my £5 each way!). There is so much to wade through, but I was particularly interested to heear from Gordon Elliott.dddddddddddd He already has a handful of Festival winners to his name and goes into the meeting with a wealth of good chances. He is sure to have some very well handicapped horses and hopefully Ill unearth one or two over the weekend. One bet I think is worth having, before everyone else sorts out his handicap runners, is to back Elliott to be leading trainer, in the market without Willie Mullins, for which he is currently a 5/2 chance. Sky Racing Tickets Fast, secure racing tickets: Exclusive racing offers near you Theres a valuable card at Newbury this weekend with the Greatwood Gold Cup the feature, whos your fancy?Well this is a race that Paul Nicholls has a very good record in and he looks like hes giving it another good go this year with both Art Mauresque and Sametegal prominent in the market and there is just 1lb between the pair in the ratings.Art Mauresque needs spring ground while at the time of writing, Newbury is good to soft. He has been dropped a few pounds by the handicapper for his last couple of efforts in red hot handicaps at Cheltenham but he doesnt scream out at me to back him at the likely prices should he line up on Saturday. Sametegal is a decent novice and makes his handicap debut over fences on his fifth outing over the larger obstacles.Nicholls has said he doesnt think the horse is desperately well handicapped, but I think hell have had more badly handicapped horses in his yard in the past. He was second in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle in 2013 off a mark of 144 and connections always hoped hes make up into a decent chaser and he runs on Saturday off a mark of 143. Both horses have the Brown Advisory Plate at Cheltenham as a possible target too and with just 12 days between the two races Im not sure if its possible to do both effectively, so it will be interesting to see who turns up where.Grand Sefton winner Bennys Mist represents Venetia Williams and runs off the same mark as when running a creditable race to be third at Ascot back over regulation fences; still +7lbs from that Aintree win. Ultragold hasnt won as many races as youd have liked since coming over from France, but he won over 2 miles last time out having dropped to a reasonable mark. If hes to win again here he will have to overcome an 11lb rise in the weights, but the step back up in trip wont do him any harm as he has run well over it before and is bred to stay further. Now he has his head in front he has a chance of making the most of the confidence boost and has a good chance of giving trainer Colin Tizzard another decent Saturday winner.Like the Nicholls pair, Little Jon is also in the Brown Advisory Plate at Cheltenham and could go there depending on what happens here according to trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies. He has been well beaten off his current mark on his last two starts at Cheltenham, but returns to the scene of his win back in November which could spark a revival. Last Friday I said on At The Races that I felt Charlie Longsdons horses were about to hit top gear and he duly won with Killala Quay at Kempton on Saturday. Longsdon has Off The Ground entered on Saturday. However, this horse has fallen on two of his past four starts, but was in the process of running well off his current mark when tipping up last time out. Hes not out of it, but is more exposed than some.Samategal is an 8/1 shot with Sky Bet for Paul Nicholls and I think hell run well.
