LONDON — Friendship will be left in the locker room when Andy Murray takes on Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first singles match of Britain's Davis Cup semi-final against Australia in Glasgow on Friday.
"I expect a tough match," said the world number three after Thursday's draw.
"I know Thanasi well. I spend time with him away from the court. He's a really nice person, very respectful, a hard worker, good manners and all that stuff... I really like him.
"But this weekend we're obviously rivals, hopefully I'll be able to use my experience in these situations to my advantage," added the Scot.
