GHENT, Belgium (AP) —
With one perfect lob, Andy
Murray ended eight de-
cades of Davis Cup frustra-
tion for Britain.
By beating David Goffin
6-3, 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday,
Murray secured Britain’s
3-1 victory over Belgium
in theDavis Cup final and
ended a drought for the
country dating back to
1936. The 79-year gap is
the longest between titles
in Davis Cup history.
“I can’t believe we did it,”
Murray said on court. “We
may never get an oppor-
tunity to do this again. We
should celebrate tonight.”
Murray won all three points
for Britain over the week-
end and with his team
holding an unassailable
lead in the best-of-five se-
ries the final singles match
was not played.
