Andy Murray didn't need the Davis Cup on his Eddie Goldman Limited Jersey sideboard - or in his wheelbarrow - to put him in the pantheon of Britain's sporting greats. He achieved that a long time ago, not by beating David Goffin in Ghent but by beating Novak Djovokic at Flushing Meadows in 2012 and again at Wimbledon in 2013. Sunday was one of the most emotional days Murray has had in tennis, but it needs to be put in its proper place in the pecking order of his achievements. Wimbledon and the US Open are arguably unrivalled at the top, then there's the Olympic gold and after that the Davis Cup. Having ended a 76-year wait for a British male to win the US Open, a 77-year wait for a Briton to win Wimbledon, a 79-year wait for Britain to win the Davis Cup and a 104-year wait for somebody from these parts to win an Olympic tennis gold, Murray is rapidly constructing enough memories for a one-man museum. There was a vast feel-good factor about Hroniss Grasu Elite Jersey what happened in Belgium. Even those of us watching on television could almost reach out and touch the atmosphere. Almost as striking as the tennis itself was the emotional impact it had on Murray. Winning for your nation, with your brother and your mates by your side, lent the thing an unmistakable power. 'Not the World Cup of tennis' Something else needs to be said, though. The Davis Cup is a peculiar animal. This past week it's been regularly described as the World Cup of tennis. It's clearly nothing of the kind. For the elite of the game it's fifth on the list of events they would like to win every year - sometimes not even fifth during an Olympic year. In golf terms, it's the Players Championship, the so-called fifth major. But even that doesn't quite cover it. Sometimes the elite give it a miss. All the world's leading golfers will turn up for the Players, but they don't for the Davis Cup. Not always. That's not to denigrate Sunday's victory, but it's an attempt to put it into context - while whistling in the wind you suspect. The Davis Cup World Group contained the http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com/Authentic-Kevin-White-Jersey top 16 nations. Spain have three players in the top 20 but they're not in the World Group because their marquee names don't play in the Davis Cup often enough. That's a weakness of the championship. The Czech Republic, winners in 2012 and 2013, went out to Australia this year. A large part of the reason why the Czechs won back-to-back Davis Cups was because their star man, the current world number six, Tomas Berdych, was present and firing. Berdych didn't play in the 3-2 loss to Australia.
