Irish Davis Cup hopes faint

Ireland face an uphill struggle to win their Davis Cup tie against Hungary at Fitzwilliam, after losing both of yesterday's singles matches.

Peter Clarke went down in straight sets (6-4, 6-4, 6-4) to Gergely Kisgyorgy, while Ireland's Kevin Sorensen lost 6-3 in the deciding set to Kornel Bardoczky, despite having won the first two sets.

Ireland must win today's doubles and both of tomorrow's singles matches in order to progress.
