Tennis: GB win place in final

ANDY MURRAY propelled Great Britain to their first Davis Cup final for 37 years with a straight-sets win over Australian number one Bernard Tomic in Glasgow.

Murray produced a 7-5 6-3 6-2 triumph over the world number 23 to send Britain into an unassailable 3-1 lead and ensure they will face Belgium or Argentina in the final on November 27-29 as they seek to win the tournament for the first time since 1936.

The Olympic champion has now helped Britain to their last seven Davis Cup points — along with brother Jamie — to see off the United States, France and now the Australians.

He said: “I’m obviously delighted to get through. We knew it would be an incredibly difficult match to win, Australia have great depth and experience.”

He went on: “We fought extremely hard, everyone played their part in the team and I’m glad to finish it off today.”
