Britain’s tennis star Andy Murray burst into tears after
securing a win in the Davis Cup.
The 36-year-old defeated Switzerland’s Leandro Riedi with a score
of 6-7 (7) 6-4 6-4 in a contest that lasted more than three hours on Friday.
After the win, Murray was extremely emotional as he dedicated
the triumph to his late grandmother.
"Today is a tough day for me, it's my gran's funeral
today," he said. "I'm sorry to my family that I'm not able to be
there but gran, this one's for you. I spoke to my dad about it and he said that
she'd want you to play. He just said make sure you win, so I did."
Despite it being an emotional day, Murray would have been
pleased with the result as he was coming on the back of a disappointed US Open campaign.
The former world number one was knocked out from the fourth
and final Grand Slam of the year after suffering a defeat to Bulgaria’s Grigor
Dimitrov in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-1.
Murray has an impressive record at the highest level but has
struggled with fitness concerns for a long period of time.
It was because of this reason he announced retirement from
the sport in early 2019 but made a stunning comeback.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
