Britain Gets Into Davis Cup Semifinals

Andy Murray came back from a set down to beat France's Gilles Simon 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-0 on Sunday and put Britain into the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time in 34 years.

Murray, who won his opening singles match on Friday and then teamed up with his brother Jamie to win Saturday's doubles, gave Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five series on grass at the Queen's Club.

Britain's first World Group semifinal since 1981 will be against Australia on Sept. 18-20.

"The whole weekend has been fantastic,'' Murray said. "This team has done amazing things. We're punching above our weight here. We're in the semifinals now of the biggest competition in tennis.

"I'm just proud to get here and hopefully we can do well against Australia in September.''
