Great Britain captain Leon Smith reveals that it was an "easy decision" to stage the Davis Cup semi-final with Australia back in Glasgow.

Great Britain captain Leon Smith has said that he believes the crowd will play a significant part in their Davis Cup semi-final with Australia.

The team will return to the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, the setting for their second-round win over the USA, and Smith has admitted that it was an "easy decision" to agree to return to Scotland for GB's biggest tie in 37 years.

Smith told BBC Sport: "We had such an amazing occasion back in March against the USA that when the opportunity arose once again to get the Emirates Arena then it was quite an easy decision for me to make to go there.

"The crowd will play a very, very big part in this match. It's hugely important. It's a long time since Britain was in the semis and it's been an even longer time since we were in the final.

"I'd say the noise generated by that crowd in the tie against America is the loudest tennis environment I've ever been in, and I've been to most stadiums around the world."

The squad for the last-four contest will be announced next week.
