GB given nightmare Davis Cup draw as Novak Djokovic to face Andy Murray and co

Great Britain have been drawn against Serbia in the Final 8 of the Davis Cup. Andy Murray and co’s bid for tournament glory will therefore involve an encounter with 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic , who is in imperious form after his triumph at the US Open . Murray watched on earlier this week as GB booked their ticket to the Final 8 courtesy of a hard-fought win over France. The 36-year-old missed his grandmother’s funeral to stay with his team-mates and broke down in tears after beating Leandro Reidi last Friday. It was left to Dan Evans and Neal Skupski against the French, but they held out to win their tense doubles decider with a sensational comeback, ensuring safe passage to Malaga. GB could have faced Italy or Serbia in the quarter-finals, and they found out on Tuesday that Djokovic and his compatriots await in what promises to be a fiercely-contested showdown.

I just kept saying to Neal: ‘We’ve got a chance, we’ve got a chance.’ Neal kept going, we both kept going.” Murray was in amongst the jubilant scenes while wearing a pink bucket hat, jumping for joy alongside Evans before hilarious footage of the Scot celebrating on the drive home with Draper went viral on social media.
