Tennis legend John McEnroe has tipped Andy Murray to lead Great Britain to victory in the Davis Cup final at the end of this month.
Britain have not lifted the trophy since 1936, but the American believes that they are heading into the match against Belgium as favourites for the title.
"To me, Great Britain should win," The Mirror quotes McEnroe as saying. "It's set up for them.
"There will be pressure for Murray, but the way he handled it against Australia, he'll handle it again and win two singles, and it would be nice if he did it again with his brother Jamie. Great Britain are definitely the favourites.
"It's more difficult on the road, but I pick Great Britain. Even in the second singles, they have an outside shot. They should win this tie - eight out of 10 times."
Britain defeated Australia 3-2 in the semi-finals in Glasgow to book their place in the final.
