World number three, Andy Murray, helped Great Britain regain its place at the Davis Cup World Group in 2014, six years after it was part of the elite group. To be able to bet on him, you can click links like Betend.
The Wimbledon 2013 champion defeated Ivan Dodig in three sets to secure the victory for his home country with a 3-1 lead against Croatia. British number two Dan Evans increased the lead to 4-1 by winning the dead rubber against Mate Pavic 6-4, 7-6.
“Andy is such a good player and so experienced. I did not have to say much, so it was more putting an ice towel round his neck,” said Leon Smith, Great Britain Davis Cup captain.
Murray played on his first Davis Cup match for the first time in two years. He also participated in the doubles match with Colin Fleming where the duo won.
Great Britain will be competing in the first round of World Group competitions in February 2014. The draw will take place on Wednesday this week where they’ll find out which team they’ll compete by then.
“If I’m fit and healthy, I will be there to play,” Murray said. “A couple of years ago that wasn’t the case when I sat down with [captain] Leon Smith.”
“I wanted the younger guys to step up and experience it. There was no use us being in the World Group because we weren’t ready for it. But now I think we are ready to do well. We have a top doubles team. Dan (Evans) and James (Ward) will continue to improve and we’ve got the makings of a very solid team,” he added.
