DAVIS CUP: Murray & Ward Win In San Diego

Great Britain are on the verge of reaching the Davis Cup World Group quarter-finals after a five-set win by James Ward over Sam Querrey of the USA. Andy Murray beat Donald Young 6-1 6-2 6-3 in the opening rubber of the best-of-five tie on the San Diego clay. Ward then fought back from two sets to one and a break down to beat Querrey 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-4 6-1.

Britain lead 2-0 and need one point from Saturday's doubles or Sunday's two reverse singles to win the tie.
Murray and Colin Fleming are scheduled to face world number one pairing Bob and Mike Bryan in the doubles, although captain Leon Smith could rest Murray, knowing a singles win for the Wimbledon champion over Querrey will be enough to secure the tie.
