Great Britain knocked out of Hopman Cup

Andy Murray and Heather Watson record victories, but it is not enough to see Great Britain reach the Hopman Cup final.

Great Britain have been knocked out of the Hopman Cup, despite victories for Andy Murray and Heather Watson in their final games.

Murray had beaten Marinko Matosevic 6-3 6-2, while Watson claimed a 6-3 6-4 win over Casey Dellacqua.

They then beat the Australian duo 7-5 6-1 to make it a 3-0 win for Britain, but it was not enough to earn them a place in the final.

"I think I have played well," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying. "The scorelines have been quite convincing against good players and tricky players who are big hitters of the ball.

"[Benoit] Paire is quite an unpredictable guy to play against and then [Jerzy] Janowicz and Matosevic are big and strong guys, but I felt like I neutralised a lot of their power well and moved forward, and stepped up the court well when I had the chance. It was a good few matches."

Poland and the United States will meet in the final on Saturday.
