Andy Murray took Great Britain through to a first Davis Cup final since 1978 with victory over Australia’s Bernard Tomic in Glasgow. The British number one secured his third point of the match, and an unassailable 3-1 lead, with a comprehensive 7-5 6-3 6-2 win. Britain last won the Davis Cup in 1936, with a team ledby Fred Perry, and will face Belgium away in November’s final.

Dan Evans lost 7-5 6-4 to Thanasi Kokkinakis in the final rubber.

Belgium reached their first final in 111 years when Steve Darcis beat Argentina’s Federico Delbonis in four sets in a deciding fifth rubber in Brussels.

The final will be played from 27-29 November, with every likelihood that the home side will choose a slow clay surface to try and neutralise Murray’s strengths. — BBC Sport
