1904 Rematch: Britain Sets Up Davis Cup Final vs Belgium

It's like 1904 all over again in the Davis Cup.

Britain and Belgium clinched 3-2 victories in the semifinals of tennis' premier team competition on Sunday to set up a rematch of their final 111 years ago — the last time Belgium reached the title match. Britain won 5-0 that time and will be the favorite again in November courtesy of Andy Murray, who defeated Bernard Tomic of Australia in the first reverse singles to give Britain an unassailable lead. Murray earned all three points for Britain in Glasgow, Scotland, after winning both his singles matches and teaming with brother Jamie to take a tough five-setter in Saturday's doubles.
