Magnificent Murrays Put Britain on Brink of Davis Cup Title

GHENT, Belgium — The magnificent Murrays, Andy and Jamie, put Britain within touching distance of a first Davis Cup triumph for 79 years with a doubles victory over Belgium duo David Goffin and Steve Darcis in Ghent on Saturday.

A match played out in an electrifying atmosphere ebbed and flowed before the brothers took charge to carve out a 6-4 4-6 6-3 6-2 victory and give Britain a 2-1 lead.

World number two Andy was inspired, as he has been throughout Britain's run to a first final since 1978, and can deliver the winning point in Sunday's first reverse singles against Belgium's top player Goffin.
