Murray Will Cope With Dual Demands, Says Wawrinka

LONDON — Stanislas Wawrinka knows the challenge Andy Murray faces as he juggles the ATP World Tour Finals with preparing for a Davis Cup final but says the Scot will cope with his tricky schedule.

Wawrinka reached the semi-finals at the O2 season-ender last year, losing a grueling epic to Federer, before they teamed up to lead Switzerland to glory against France a few days later.

This year's Davis Cup final, like last year's, will be contested on an indoor claycourt, as Belgium seek to make the most of home advantage in Ghent and try to erode the impact of world number two Murray who will spearhead Britain's challenge for a first title since 1936.
