GREAT BRITAIN 3, AUSTRALIA 1

Glasgow, Scotland – Hard (Indoors)

 

Great Britain has reached its first Davis Cup final since 1978 after Andy Murray recorded his 25th singles rubber victory for the nine-time champion.

World No. 3 Murray defeated Bernard Tomic 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 in one hour and 46 minutes to give Great Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead in Glasgow.

Great Britain will travel to Belgium for the final, which will be held from 27-29 November.

“Winning for your country and your team-mates means a lot,” said Murray. “The crowd were unbelievable from the first ball to the last. I didn’t feel great the whole weekend to be honest, I’ve been struggling with my back, but I just tried to disguise it.”

The 28-year-old Murray beat Thanasi Kokkinakis on Friday and teamed up with his brother, Jamie Murray, in a five-set victory over Sam Groth and Lleyton Hewitt on Saturday.

Murray is 25-2 lifetime, with his two singles losses coming to Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinkain 2005 and to Fabio Fognini of Italy in 2014.

Great Britain last won the international men’s team competition in 1936, when Fred Perry, Bunny Austin, Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated Australia 3-2.
