Andy Murray not getting carried away as Great Britain close in on Davis Cup joy

Andy Murray admits that he is feeling nervous ahead of Sunday's Davis Cup singles clash against David Goffin, as Great Britain move to within one win of victory.

Andy Murray has insisted that an historic Davis Cup triumph for Great Britain is far from certain heading into the final day of the competition.

Opponents Belgium know that only victory in both singles rubbers on Sunday will be enough to lift the trophy, following Andy and Jamie Murray's doubles success on Saturday.

World number two Murray has the chance to end Britain's 79-year wait for a Davis Cup title when he takes on David Goffin at the Flanders Expo, but the Scotsman is expecting a tough battle.

"I'm not getting ahead of myself," The Guardian quotes him as saying. "I know how good a player Goffin is. You don't get to be ranked 16 in the world in today's game with the depth that there is if you're not pretty good at the game.

"I feel pretty relaxed. I'm sure there will be nerves tomorrow. But I like being nervous. It helps me concentrate, it helps me give a little bit more effort. It might only be a couple of per cent, but it all makes a difference."

Should Goffin get the better of Murray, then it will all come down to the meeting between either Ruben Bemelmans or Steve Darcis and Kyle Edmund or James Ward later in the day.
