Slightly off topic, but today Britain achieved the
seemingly impossible. The GB Davis Cup team lead by Andy Murray and Coach Leon
Smith beat Belgium 3-1 to win the Davis Cup Final. Young Kyle Edmund (20),
world number 100 made his debut, surprisingly comfortably taking the
first two sets of Belgian's number one, David Goffin, although he actually went
on to loose in five sets. Nonetheless, the Davis Cup was just an amazing
experience for an up and coming tennis player, whatever their nationality.
Thankfully, the Murray Brothers conquered Steve Darcis and David Goffin in four
sets to set up an unbelievable opportunity. Team GB had to win just one match
on the final day to become Davis Cup champions - and they did.
One thing's for sure is that this was a far cry from five years ago, on the brink of relegation to the bottom tier of the competition and playing in tiny venues across the world - most not even televised. Congratulations Team GB!
