The Davis
Cup team of Great Britain added Liam Broady following Andy Murray's injury.
Former
world No. 1 won't be able to be present at the year-end Davis Cup Finals. As
announced by the Lawn Tennis Association, Andy Murray suffered a minor shoulder
injury that will prevent him from participating in the Finals scheduled in
Malaga starting from November 23. Murray is the third British player with the
most appearances in the Davis Cup (record 42-10) and made his debut in 2005
with an impressive 33-3 record in singles, only behind Fred Perry and Mike
Sangster.
The team
will be led by Cameron Norrie and Jack Draper as the singles players, while the
doubles pair will consist of Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury. Liam Broady, the
world No. 102, was announced as the replacement for Murray.
The
29-year-old athlete expressed his regret for the 3-times Grand Slam champion's
injury but is pleased to be part of the national team that will compete in the
Davis Cup Finals:
"It’s
not the way I’d have wanted to be called up to our team with Andy picking up a
shoulder injury," Broady said. "But as always I take great pride in
representing GB and can’t wait to help the team progress through the tournament
in any way I can."
“Gutted for
Andy and gutted to be letting down my French club team Loon Plage but when your
country comes calling you don’t have a choice. See you in Malaga guys”
The British
team had already experienced the withdrawal of Dan Evans (replaced by
Salisbury). In the quarterfinals, they will have to face the formidable Serbian
team led by Novak Djokovic, who will travel to Malaga once his participation in
the ATP Finals in Turin is concluded.
The British
team boasts 10 Davis Cup titles in its history, ranking fourth in the
historical standings after the USA, Australia, and France. Their last title was
in 2015, precisely led by Andy Murray.

Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
