Murray named in GB Davis Cup squad ahead of Glasgow group stage

ANDY MURRAY has been named in the Great Britain suqad for the upcoming Davis Cup finals group stage.

The Scotland sporting icon is part of the four-man team for the matches in Glasgow next month.

Murray will join Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Joe Salisbury for the competition under captain Leon Smith.

Great Britain will play USA, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands between September 13-18 in Glasgow.

The matches will be played at The Emirates Arena in Glasgow.

On the squad announcement, Smith said: “I’m delighted to name such a strong team to take on the other three nations next month in Glasgow. We have really good strength and depth at the moment and selections have been tougher than ever.

“Emirates Arena has been a brilliant venue for our team in the past creating some of the best atmospheres and memories our players have experienced.

“We are very excited to bring Davis Cup back there for the first time in over four years and look forward to a packed-out stadium making some serious noise for our team.”

Murray is returning to the competition for the first time since 2019, and can't wait to perform in front of a home crowd.

He said: “It’s always special playing in a Davis Cup tie in front of a home crowd.

“Some of the best moments of my career have come representing my country in the Davis Cup so to be a part of the team again means a lot.

“Obviously it’s exciting that the competition is returning to Glasgow. We’ve had some brilliant results there in the past and this is another chance for us to create even more history.

"We’ve got a strong team and we’ll be giving everything we can to get the win for the fans and book our place in the finals.”
