That scenario is unlikely to happen, however, because the packed ATP Tour and the Davis Cup schedule are often incompatible for the leading players and next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will clutter their plans still further.

It would be a magnificent occasion with the current world numbers one and two fueled by national pride and the decibel levels in the stands pumped up.

There remained plenty of ambiguity in his answer, though, with the 39-year-old saying: “There’s been so much gone into this year but also the years gone by that I’ve not thought anything about it”. I think everyone believes that all of them can go higher.

“James and Kyle, and Dan as well, the last few weeks they’ve all won Challenger events”. The Davis Cup 2015 was the 104th edition of the Davis Cup.

“What he’s managed to do for the team is astonishing”, Britain’s captain Leon Smith said. “We’ll obviously see each other a lot before then but it’ll be a nice feeling going into March as defending champions”.

The tie, which could pit Britain against Novak Djokovic’s Serbia, is the week after Wimbledon and only two weeks before a packed American hard-court season that includes the Rio Olympics, where Murray will defend his singles title.

All players were asked to wear something red, white and blue to show their support for Britain in the Davis Cup. We played four ties this year and every one of them was sold out and the atmosphere was really good.

“He was all about the team, and clearly the best thing that we’ve always said about Andy Murray is he keeps winning, and especially when he wins in special moments like this”.

Days after guiding Great Britain to their first Davis Cup title since 1936, Andy Murray has hit out at the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) for failing to nurture future talent.

“It’s just the timing of the competition”. Now, I don’t know what the motivation was for this poor soul, but it did serve to remind me that to be a truly caring society we really must adopt a system that allows for assisted suicide.

He said: “I can build myself up for Australia, give everything I’ve got there, then I get a break”.

Jamie Murray hopes the efforts of his brother will help inspire the next generation.

“I need to train really hard in the off-season if I want to have a chance of making this count for next year”.
