Andy Murray has committed himself to help Great Britain try to retain the Davis Cup in 2016.

Fresh from his straight sets victory over David Goffin in Belgium, which ensured Great Britain's first triumph since 1936, he says he will definitely take part in their opening tie against Japan next year.

It was the best single performance in a Davis Cup competition along with John McEnroe and Sweden's Matts Wilander.

The world number 2 won for the third time in this final to make his record in this year's competition played 11, won 11.

Murray's mother Judy told ITV News she never thought she would see this day.

But she joked she can't help anymore because she's not having any more children.

Andy's brother Jamie, who helped secure a vital doubles point on Saturday, said the team would celebrate with a meal at the renowned Japanese restaurant Nobu.
