GB without Murray again for Davis Cup semi against Spain

Andy Murray will not play in Great Britain's Davis Cup semi-final against Spain on Saturday.

Captain Leon Smith is sticking with the team which beat Germany in Friday's quarter-final, with Kyle Edmund and British number one Dan Evans playing the singles matches.

Murray, 32, was not picked against Germany after being rested for Thursday's group win over Kazakhstan which booked their last-eight spot.

GB face Spain in Madrid at 17:15 GMT.

Evans won his first match of the tournament on Friday, beating Jan-Lennard Struff in the second singles rubber to seal GB's place in the semi-finals.

Smith said before the Germany tie that whether to recall Murray would be one of his "more difficult decisions".

The Scot won his singles match in the group opener against the Netherlands but had looked sluggish as he laboured to a three-set victory over Dutch world number 179 Tallon Griekspoor on Wednesday.

Murray admitted afterwards he was still "a couple of kilos" heavier than he would have liked after gaining weight while taking time off with his newborn son and family.

Great Britain's semi-final sees Edmund taking on world number 34 Pablo Carreno Busta before Evans faces Rafael Nadal.

If the best-of-three tie goes to a decisive doubles rubber, Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski will play Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, although Nadal could replace Lopez as he did in the quarter-final victory over Argentina.
