Andy Murray Overwhelmed With Emotion As Great Britain Reach Davis Cup Semi-finals For The First Time In 34 Years

Andy Murray overwhelmed with emotion as he led Great Britain to their first Davis Cup Semi-final in 34 years.
Mmurray came from a set down to beat France's Gilles Simon, giving Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five tie at Queen's Club.

The world number three looked exhausted when he trailed Simon by a set and a break, but he recovered to win 4-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 6-0

Murray, who partnered brother Jamie to win a doubles match on Saturday, said he was focusing on beating Australia for a place in the final.

This team has done amazing things. We're punching above our weight here. We're in the semi-finals now of the biggest competition in tennis. 

It's been a long road back from where we were a few years ago but there are many players who have played their part in getting us here.

I'm just proud to get here and hopefully we can do well against Australia in September.

– ANDY MURRAY

Britain v Australia and Belgium v Argentina will be played in September.
