Andy Murray has been named in the four-man Davis Cup squad for February's tie against Argentina.

The event, to be played on clay, will also see Jamie Murray, Jamie Baker and Alex Bogdanovic taking up their country's colours, in Great Britain's first elite World Group match since qualifying against Croatia last September.

The tie, set to be one of Britain's toughest draws of recent years, will see Andy Murray return to action after his disappointingly early first-round ejection from the Australian Open in Melbourne. The two countries haven't met since 1989, where Argentina emerged 3-2 winners. Such a close score this time around might be an unachieveable goal for the Brits, given the potential depth of the Argentinan team, who have no less than 11 players in the top 100.Lloyd Interview

In other news:
Andy Murray has been named as an Olympic Athlete of the Year for 2007 by the British Olympic Association. The award reflects his dedication to and achievements in tennis.

I don't understand what the Olympic award is all about... wouldn't it make more sense to give him that award on the year he plays in the Olympics search me

Are they saying he was the most dedicated player of 2007 in the world?

Archery - Naomi Folkard
Athletics - Nicola Sanders

Baseball - Brant Ust
Basketball - Luol Deng
Biathlon - Kevin Kane
Bobsleigh - Lee Johnston
Boxing - Frankie Gavin
Canoeing - Tim Brabants

Cycling - Victoria Pendleton
Equestrian - Mary King
and so on....

I never thought it was only one award but Murray winning the Tennis category is extremely surprising.

It doesn't mean he;s not going. Just that he's the best Tennis player according to the BOA. Which is obvious but still...

It's annoying Murray winning such an obvious award and then it hitting the press.

For clarity,

It's annoying that an award exists when everyone knows the winner beforehand with 100% certainty every time and then it's equally annoying that the mainstream press feel it worth telling the world about.

Obviously it's appropriate to be posted on a Murray website though but that's about it.

I understood you the first time Markie. Wink

And I agree! It's annoying because it's like an award I don't think really matters......
