Tennis: All level between Belgium and Great Britain in Davis Cup final

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.
