GREAT BRITAIN DEFEATS THE U.S., 3-1

 

Despite a brave effort from Sam Querrey, No. 6 Andy Murray clinched Great Britain’s first Davis Cup Quarterfinals appearance since 1986 on Sunday, beating the 49th-ranked American, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-3, on red clay at Petco Park in San Diego.

 

Great Britain claimed the latest victory in the oldest rivalry in Davis Cup history, defeating the United States for the first time since 1935 and winning on American soil for the first time since 1903. Since Murray won the tie-clinching match in four sets, the fifth, dead singles rubber scheduled to be played between the United States’ Donald Young and Great Britain’s James Ward was not played.

 

Great Britain will now play Italy in the Davis Cup quarterfinals in April. The United States will play in September’s World Group Playoff against an opponent to be determined.
