The Davis Cup final is all square following the first day of action in Belgium. World number two, Andy Murray, levelled the match for Great Britain with a 6-3 6-2 7-5 victory over Ruben Bemelmans. That followed David Goffin’s comeback against Kyle Edmund, who took the first two sets before succumbing 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0 to the home favourite. Murray is back on court with his brother, Jamie, for the doubles later (18:00 UAE time), when they’ll take on Steve Darcis and Kimmer Coppejans, in what could prove the crucial fixture in the final ahead of tomorrow’s last two singles ties.
