Andy Murray helped Great Britain lift the Davis Cup after 79 years, in 2015. However, with lacklustre form, he passed up the opportunity to participate in Iast years event, a decision he has since branded a “mistake”. The three-time Grand Slam winner is on this year’s team along with Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Joe Salisbury, and Neal Skupski. With Norrie, Evans and Murray all ranked within the World top 50 men’s singles ranking, and Salisbury and Skuski ranked as the top and third ranked doubles players, Great Britain are strong contenders for the title.

With a hip resurfacing operation in 2019, Murray’s journey back into the tennis circuit has been challenging, and while he may not play any match in the Davis Cup, he is a worthy addition to the team. Matches in the group stage include those against the US, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands, and team coach Leon Smith is banking on Murray’s experience at the Davis Cup, and his understanding of the sport, to aid the team’s performance. Murray provided a crucial 11 out of 12 points that helped Britain win the Davis Cup in 2015.
