“Today is a difficult day for me, grandma has a funeral. I apologized to the family that I couldn’t be there, but grandma, this is for you,” Murray said in an on-court interview after the 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 win. The two-time Wimbledon and Olympic champion then returned to the bench and sobbed under a towel as the Manchester crowd applauded.
Later, Murray told reporters that he considered playing the match, which his father eventually recommended. “He told me she would like me to play. He told me, ‘Win,’ so I won,” said the former world number one.
Thanks to Murray’s victory, Britain defeated Switzerland 2:1 and after the second matches leads the Manchester Group B table of the Davis Cup final tournament with two wins.
