Murray on Davis Cup: “It was a nicer feeling than after Wimbledon”
After leading Great Britain to victory over Belgium in Ghent on Sunday, an emotionally buoyed
Andy Murray
reveals that he enjoyed winning the Davis Cup more than his 2013 Wimbledon title. The World No. 2, who won all 11 Davis Cup rubbers he contested to help lead Great Britain to its first title at the international team competition since 1936, says that after Wimbledon he only had a sense of relief. In Belgium, he says the joy came to the fore.

“It was a nicer feeling than after Wimbledon,” he said,
according to the AFP
. “I didn’t really enjoy [Winning Wimbledon] as I was just so relieved to have done that whereas here I enjoyed it so much more. There was more pride and being around all the guys in the team was just great. We all really put in so much effort and to see how much it means to everybody involved obviously feels better.”
Murray, who clinched the title with a win over
David Goffin
, became the first person since
Pete Sampras
to win three live rubbers in a Davis Cup final.
After the match, Murray admitted he’s never been more emotional after a victory. “I imagine it will take a few days before it really sinks in,” he said. “But I probably haven't been as emotional as that after a match that I've won. I've been pretty upset having lost matches before, but I'd say that's probably the most emotional I've been after a win.”
Murray says he plans to take some rest before beginning his preparation for next year’s Australian Open. He is a four-time runner-up at the event and is hoping that his fantastic finish in 2015 proves to be a springboard for more Grand Slam glory.
But for now he’ll take some time to enjoy this tremendous achievement for self, for family and for country.
“This one feels different. To get to do it with my brother and a lot of my friends—I know how much it means to all of them as well. … Leon the Captain coached me when I was 11 years old – we never thought we’d be doing this together. It’s special, in a very different way.”
