Andy Murray and British team welcomed at No. 10 Downing Street.

 

Two days after their historic Davis Cup triumph over Belgium in Ghent, the winning British team was invited to meet with Prime Minister David Cameron at No. 10 Downing Street in London on Tuesday.

 

World No. 2 Andy Murray was joined by team captain Leon Smith, Jamie Murray, Kyle Edmund, James Ward and Dominic Inglot for a reception at the official residence and the office of the British Prime Minister.

 

“It was a real privilege to visit the Prime Minister at No. 10 today,” said Smith. “We really appreciate the fact he took time out of his busy schedule to recognise the historic achievement over the weekend. We hope the team’s victory will inspire the next generation of players and kids to play tennis, as we all care passionately about our sport.”

 

The Murray brothers starred at the weekend as Great Britain defeated Belgium 3-1 to win the ITF men’s team championship for the first time since 1936. Andy Murray won both his singles matches against Ruben Bemelmans and David Goffin as well as uniting with his older brother, Jamie, for a crucial doubles victory.

 

Both Murray brothers will make an appearance during the Champions Tennis event at the Royal Albert Hall this week in London.
