Andy Murray Wins Davis Cup For Great Britain Over

1 sank to the floor with his head in his hands after giving his team a 3-1 win over Belgium with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 win over David Goffin.

When Leon Smith took over as captain in 2010, Great Britain’s Davis Cup team faced a Europa/Africa Group II relegation play-off against Turkey with Murray not even playing for the team. I think that’s the case for all of the team, ‘ said Murray, who joked that all his colleagues deserved knighthoods.

“I’m not sure anyone would come, we’d just be going round London seeing sights on our own and waving at buildings”, the World No. 2 joked. “I think I proved that I can have a really high level and I will try to still improve my game, my serve and be more aggressive for 2016”.

“Andy is the most resilient person”. I think he showed his potential and also he saw in front what he can improve.

Andy said it was a coincidence he had won the day before St Andrew’s Day.

Most of all, Belgium was asking Goffin to play three straight days. The Davis Cup must be taken to every tennis club, in every community in the land.

“Someone like Andy is able to figure things out and react to any situation he’s in, it’s really incredible to watch”.

Murray has already committed to playing in the first round of next year’s Davis Cup when Britain host Japan, but he added that while the competition format was good, the timing could be better. We’ll all remember this year for the rest of our lives, regardless of what happens in the rest of our careers.

“Hopefully we can win it again next year or we can go on to win grand slams and Wimbledon or Olympics and stuff”.

Speaking about his wife’s pregnancy, Andy said it is not only the Australian Open he is looking forward to next year. “You don’t want to let it pass by without enjoying it”.

The Murray clan was out in force for yesterday’s tie with Andy’s grandparents supporting from the stands, as well as his mum, brother and cousin and Kim, right.

“Murray’s individual contribution has been enormous, but he has headlined a team effort that has been five years in the making”, said the BBC’s tennis correspondent Russell Fuller.

The set would move out to 3-3 after Murray saved a break point in the sixth game with an ace.

“I probably haven’t been as emotional as that after a match that I’ve won”. It was a lot of relief the other times whereas this time I felt very proud of everyone in the team, proud to represent my country and that we managed to win the biggest team competition there is in this sport. I like what I do just now but I certainly can’t keep doing that for ever.
