"I was tired and I wasn't sure if it was something that I necessarily wanted to still be involved with," saidMurray, who lost in the third round of the U.S. Open this month. But, as soon as I turned the matches on and started watching, I thought: 'What am I doing? This was a mistake.' Physically I feel really good just now. This is the best I've felt in a long time."
Britain begin their campaign against the United States later on Wednesday. The top eight teams from the group stage advance to the knockout rounds, which take place in Malaga in November.
