• GB captain happy with Scot’s schedule,as long as injury avoided
• Kyle Edmund in line for supporting role in Davis Cup final singlesLeon Smith arrived here on Thursday hoping to see Andy Murray finish well at the ATP World Tour Finals but perhaps not so well that he drains himself before the Davis Cup final against Belgium next weekend.“Clearly I would be happy if he isn’t injured, the Davis Cup captain said as Murray prepared for Friday night’s match against Stan Wawrinka. “But Andy said the same. He’s getting grand preparation. Obviously I don’t know what the Belgians are doing. But if you haven’t played for three or four weeks and you are just practising, and nothing can replicate playing against very grand players. You can play practice sets until you are blue in the face,it’s not the same as having to make a decision that really counts at 4-4, 30-all, or moment set,moment serve.
