Andy Murray hails "unbelievable" Great Britain triumph

Andy Murray admits that he had to dig deep in the second set against Gilles Simon to eventually see Great Britain through to their first Davis Cup semi-final in 34 years.

Andy Murray has admitted that he had to use every last ounce of energy in order to help Great Britain secure a spot in the Davis Cup semi-finals.

The world number three beat Gilles Simon 4-6 7-6[5] 6-3 6-0 at Queen's Club to see Britain through to the final four of the competition for the first time in 34 years.

Having headed into the contest with his nation sitting on a 2-1 lead against France, Murray battled back to get the job done with a match to spare.

"It obviously feels unbelievable to get through that, it wasn't looking great in the second set," he told BBC Sport. "I just managed to try and find a way and used up all my last ounces of energy."

Britain will now host Australia in September's semi-final, while Belgium and Argentina meet in the other final-four affair.
