Britain won the Davis Cup for the first

when Andy Murray defeated David
Goffin 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 in the first of the
reverse singles to take an unbeatable
3-1 lead over Belgium. (Read More in

It was a fitting climax for the 28-
year-old Scot to provide the winning
point, having won all 11 rubbers he
played in during the campaign as the
British defeated heavyweights United
States, France and Australia before
the clincher against Belgium.
The win over Goffin made him just
the third player, after John McEnroe
and Mats Wilander, to win all eight
singles in the same calendar year
since the Davis Cup World Group
started in 1981.
And it underpinned Murray's place in
tennis history following his headline-
making wins in the 2012 US Open and
Olympics, and at Wimbledon the
following year.
