Belgium and Great Britain clash in 2015 Davis Cup final

Berdych is a regular in a Czech team who he has twice led to Davis Cup victory, whilst Gasquet simply missed out on a hugely talented French team. “I think he’s right to have delayed the decision”. It’s very quiet. I think it’s a really nice city.

Edmund has been selected in a five-man team by captain Leon Smith and yesterday flew to Belgium with fellow members Andy Murray, James Ward and doubles specialists Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot.

“Hopefully this afternoon and the next couple of days we’ll get to play in more similar conditions to the matches”.

From the Davis Cup website… This is, realistically, going to be the best opportunity he will have in his career to win the Davis Cup.

“Davis Cup and Fed Cup by BNP Paribas fit perfectly within our roster of exciting, high profile sponsorships”, said Anthony Werkman, marketing and operations director of Betway.

Even before Murray dismantled David Goffin at this month’s Paris Masters, dropping just one game, Great Britain were heavily favoured to win the tie.

“I do think the court is good”, he told a news conference on Tuesday.

Henman believes that this year’s run in the Davis Cup “certainly won’t have done Andy’s relationship with the British public any harm”.

“As catastrophic a result as it was for John Lloyd and his British team, Lithuania played well that weekend”. “It’s about Murray being the best he can be, and he’s certainly doing that”. That’s the most important thing for him to do, to concentrate on his preparation and performance on the court.

“I know when you win a Slam or a big competition, it’s obviously years in the works, but this is a bit different”.

The ATP World Tour Finals in London on hard courts was a complicating factor for both the Murray brothers but they practised on clay both before and after the tournament at the O2. “So it’s going to be interesting to see what’s going to happen and how the Belgians will be ready with David Goffin, how he’s going to be there, how he is going to be ready or not, if he’s going to play his best tennis or not”.

If Murray helps Britain win in an era in which he may find it impossible to outshine the ridiculously talented Novak Djovokic, he will simply be continuing his career-long habit of completely outperforming the last 70 years or more of British tennis players.

Murray will likely play Belgium No. 2 Steve Darcis, who won the fifth rubber in the semifinal round against Argentina.

The visitors, on the other hand, are pursuing their first title since 1936 and their 10th in total, appearing in their first final for 37 years and only their third since Fred Perry led the nation to success all those years ago at Wimbledon.

Great Britain defeated the United States 3-2, and then upset top-seed France in the quarterfinals After tying it up with a win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on clay, the Murray brothers fought out a tough 4-set doubles win over Nicholos Mahut and Tsonga.
