The Netherlands have made history after reaching the Davis Cup final for the first time in their 104 year history in the competition. We discuss that, their incredible 'orange wall' of support, and we look ahead to the second semi final between favourites Italy and Lleyton Hewitt's dogged Australia

Part one - Looking back on an historic night for the Netherlands, including the 'marvel' that is Botic Van De Zandschulp, and a Dutch team that choked and won anyway.

Part two (from 35 minutes) - Looking ahead to hot favourites Italy against underdogs Australia, and the tactics that Lleyton Captain Hewitt may or may not deploy with his team selection.
