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.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
