Murray will do ‘great job’ at Davis Cup

Published on: 

Andy Murray will do a “great job” when he continues his comeback from injury at next week’s inaugural Davis Cup Finals in Madrid, British captain Leon Smith said on Sunday.

Murray, who inspired Britain to the 2015 Davis Cup title, will line up alongside his older brother Jamie, Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund and Neal Skupski at the Caja Magica.

“Andy feels great,” said Smith. “He’s obviously extremely happy to be back in tennis.

“He’s training unbelievably hard to get back to his best position, with great focus.

“If he’s picked to play, then I know he will do a great job on the court. That’s not ego, that’s confidence of course.

“He’s still a very good tennis player, he’s pushing (the other) guys ahead. And at the same time, you realise what he’s gone through.”

Britain, who were handed a wildcard for the first tournament since the old World Group was scrapped, will be favourites to progress from a Group E.
