GLASGOW, Scotland — As Britain prepares to take on Australia in the Davis Cup semifinals this week, the focus will be as much on who's missing as who will be taking the court in Glasgow.
Andy Murray will lead a team bidding to win Britain's first title since 1936, while the visitors will be without Nick Kyrgios, who lost to the Scot in the opening round of the U.S. Open and who has frequently drawn controversy for his antics this season.
In the second round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal in August, a court microphone picked up a vulgar remark that Kyrgios made about the reported girlfriend of his opponent, Stan Wawrinka.
