Davis Cup: Andy Murray 'right' to miss quarter-final says captain

Andy Murray is right to rest and not play in this week's Davis Cup quarter-final against Serbia in Belgrade, says captain Leon Smith.

The Wimbledon champion has not missed a Davis Cup tie for over three years.

But Smith said: "Quite rightly he has to look after his body and his mind. He's got his eyes set on getting some rest and really making a big push for the Olympics, US Open and beyond."

Kyle Edmund and James Ward will play singles for holders Great Britain.

The quarter-final begins on clay in the Tasmajdan Stadium on Friday.
