[MURRAY - I NEVER BELIEVED THIS WOULD HAPPEN]

Murray has also won his last 10 Davis Cup singles matches and has never lost on court against Goffin.

GB captain Leon Smith said today: “It is going to be very difficult.  You don’t get to 15 or 16 in the world without being a good player and David Goffin is dangerous.

"We have seen this weekend how good he can be and he is on his favourite surface.

“If Andy does come unstuck, we have still got a very good chance in the deciding rubber."
