Most Emotional Win Yet, Says British Davis Cup Hero Murray

GHENT, Belgium — Clinching the decisive point to give Britain their first Davis Cup title for 79 years was more emotional than any of his other career highlights, Andy Murray said on Sunday.

The 28-year-old has been Britain's talisman throughout a remarkable run to the final and he finished the job in style with a straight sets victory over Belgium's David Goffin in Ghent to secure an unassailable 3-1 lead.

"It's obviously an amazing feeling. You know, I imagine it will take a few days before it really sinks in," the world number two, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men's champion in 2013, told reporters at the Flanders Expo.
