Andy Murray will guide Great Britain to win, says Tim Henman

Andy Murray will find his form and help Great Britain win the Davis Cup final – if it goes ahead, says former GB number one Tim Henman.

Great Britain’s Davis Cup final team after their semi-final win over Australia “I think Britain will win 3-1 but it won’t be easy,” said Henman, who believes the hosts will come up against a rejuvenated Murray.

Murray has won all six singles and both doubles matches he has played in the Davis Cup this year while putting Britain within sight of a first title in 79 years.

“The theory is that one-man teams don’t win the Davis Cup, and there have been other players who have played their part – Jamie Murray, James Ward and Leon Smith, the captain – but when you look at what Andy’s done, it’s been phenomenal.” Henman, who won 29 singles matches in his Davis Cup career, also defended Murray against recent claims by ex-captain David Lloyd that he has not put enough back into British tennis.
