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.
