Hopman Cup XXIIa

Tennis in Perth around the NEW YEAR.
As far as I know, this format for the Hopman Cup is unique. Two players represesent their country, one female and one male. They each player a singles match and then a mixed doubles. They are quaranteed at least three matches and then a final if they win their group.
Great Britain had not beenrepresented for over a decade, so it was to some surprise that the fifteen year old Laura Robson and Andy Murray made the final and what a close one it was. In the video are some shots and two short clips recorded on my mobile telephone.
