Murray brothers put GB ahead
Andy Murray encountered more resistance than the opening day of Great Britain's Davis Cup clash with Luxembourg but he and brother Jamie still recorded a comfortable straight-sets doubles win to put the hosts in front.
The Dunblane pair eased to a 7-5 6-2 6-0 victory over Mike Vermeer and Laurent Bram as Britain moved 2-1 ahead midway through the Europe/Africa Group II second-round encounter at Braehead Arena near Glasgow.
An improved Bram avoided more humiliation following his 6-0 6-0 6-0 defeat to British number one Murray on Friday, with the visitors making a decent contest of the first set before the hosts broke at their fifth opportunity. The brothers then took a firm grip on their first Davis Cup appearance as a doubles team and Bram endured another whitewash in the third set.
Andy Murray will wrap up victory, and secure a promotion play-off against Belarus or Hungary, if he beats Luxembourg number one Gilles Muller on Sunday.
