Murray brothers: Mum can help British tennis produce more talent

Britain's Davis Cup squad has told ITV News more needs to be done to ensure the future success of the country's tennis.

Fresh from Britain's first victory in the competition since 1936, both Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie, and team captain Leon Smith all agree the system isn't producing enough young talent.

All three are in unison when it comes to the answer: the Murray's mother, Judy.

Judy Murray is currently involved with the Lawn Tennis Association, Britain's governing body, and currently leads Britain in the Federation Cup, the women's equivalent of the Davis Cup.

Jamie Murray says she should be asked to become more involved with grassroots tennis as she already does with her academy for young four to five year-old girls.

Smith says the LTA should ask her what she needs to encourage more youngsters to play the game.

Andy Murray says Britain is very unlike Spain where he moved to learn the game at the age of 15. He says courts all over the country are full at weekends with young people playing tennis from first to last thing.

Both Jamie Murray and Smith joined the calls for Andy Murray to receive a knighthood. The former Wimbledon champion admits he would not turn it down if it was offered to him but he added there were many people far more deserving of the honour than him. He told ITV News "I don't save lives, I just play tennis."
