Great Britain continued to make progress in the Davis Cup group stage as they defeated Switzerland 2-1 on Friday in Manchester on an emotional day for Andy Murray, who sealed the opening rubber with a tough 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-4 win against Leandro Riedi.
During his on-court interview, a tearful Murray revealed that the funeral of his own paternal grandmother, Ellen, took place on the same day: “Today is a tough day for me; it’s actually my gran’s funeral,” he said. “I’m sorry to my family that I’m not able to be there. Gran, that one is for you.”
