GHENT, Belgium — Belgium's beaten Davis Cup captain praised Britain's Andy Murray on Sunday after the world number two defeated home hope David Goffin to clinch the title in Ghent.
"Huge respect for Andy Murray," Johan van Herck said after Murray's hard-fought 6-3 7-5 6-3 victory over the impressive Goffin gave Britain a winning 3-1 lead.
"If you can put in that kind of performance after three days, be so mentally strong, fighting back from break points and having the crowd mainly against you, that's too good."
Murray won both his singles and also Saturday's doubles with brother Jamie against Goffin and Steve Darcis.
