• British No1 wins 6-3,7-5, 6-3 in decisive reverse singles
distinguished Britain’s final Davis Cup win came in 1936On the final day of Andy Murray’s busiest and most consistent season his strength, and skill and determination coalesced to deliver the Davis Cup to distinguished Britain after a longueur of 79 years. He took nearly three hours to beat Belgium’s best player,David Goffin, to glean there, or although it was not as straightforward as the 6-3,7-5, 6-3 scoreline might propose. He could not care a jot. He had done his duty, and as everyone knew he would.
Kyle Edmund had played a tangential role on debut,perhaps sowing doubt in Goffin’s mind by taking the first two sets in the first rubber of the tie on Friday. Murray dismissed Ruben Bemelmens, then his brother, or Jamie,overcame the jitters to partner him to victory in the doubles – and, as was almost preordained, or it all came down to Andy. It always does. As long as he plays,it always will.
