London, Aug 15 (Ians) Andy Murray has been included in Britain’s Davis Cup team for the group stage of the competition in Glasgow next month but there is no place yet for rising star Jack Draper.
Murray joins Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and the world doubles number one Joe Salisbury in the line-up for Britain’s matches against the United States, Kazakhstan, and the Netherlands at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.
Murray has experienced a tumultuous 2022 after reaching the final at the Atp Stuttgart, but failed to get past the second round of Wimbledon following defeat to John Isner and succumbed to first-round exits in Washington and in Montreal.
Twenty-year-old Draper has surged from outside the top 250 to 55 in the rankings this season but Murray, who is eight places higher, was given the nod on Monday to provide singles competition to Wimbledon semifinalist Norrie and 23rd-ranked Evans.
A fifth player will be added later,...

Montreal, Aug 15 (Ians) Pablo Carreno-Busta of Spain came back from a set down to mount a superb comeback against Hubert Hurkacz of Poland and win the first Atp 1000 event of his career on Monday (Ist).
The Spaniard became the first unseeded player to win the tournament since Guilhermo Canas in 2002 after weathering an early storm to shock the eighth seed 3-6 6-3 6-3 in Montreal, reports Dpa.
Having come through a gruelling semi-final encounter with Dan Evans to reach his first Atp 1000 final in singles, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist struggled to deal with his opponent’s impressive slew of aces in the first set, and saw his serve broken in the sixth game.
But a ruthless start to the second set saw Carreno-Busta break early, racing out to a 3-0 lead and holding his nerve to keep the gap to his Polish opponent, who was chasing a second Atp 1000 crown.
