Brilliant stuff again. Shame it's Serbia next but that's a while off yet.
And now it's upon us, but without Andy in the team, something which most people expected after he won Wimbledon. There is a possibility though that he could still travel to Belgrade to offer his support. Given that both Djokovic and Serbia's #2 Viktor Troicki won't be participating, hopefully we might still be in with a chance of winning, particularly with Jamie, and presumably Dom Inglot, in the doubles. The teams will be announced during the course of the day, probably early afternoon.
Andy Murray 'right' to miss quarter-final says captain [BBC Sport, 13 July]
Andy Murray is right to rest and not play in this week's Davis Cup quarter-final against Serbia in Belgrade, says captain Leon Smith.
The Wimbledon champion has not missed a Davis Cup tie for over three years.
But Smith said: "Quite rightly he has to look after his body and his mind. He's got his eyes set on getting some rest and really making a big push for the Olympics, US Open and beyond."
Kyle Edmund and James Ward will play singles for holders Great Britain.
The quarter-final begins on clay in the Tasmajdan Stadium on Friday.
Although not playing, BBC Sport understands Murray is expected to fly out to support his team-mates.
"We would love him to come out and support. We are a really, really close unit," Smith told BBC Sport.
"I fully understand if he doesn't end up coming, but if he does it just gives everyone a boost to see your number one player, role model and current Wimbledon champion sitting there.
"We've seen him before - in Glasgow last March [for the tie against the US] - going bananas at the side of the court."
Dan Evans was also initially named in the team but did not travel to Belgrade because of a shoulder injury and "a couple of issues at home".
