Andy Murray leads Great Britain in their first home World Group Davis Cup tie since 2002 this weekend as they take on the USA in a first-round clash in Glasgow.

In a rematch of last year's first-round encounter—which Great Britain won 3-1 in San Diego—Murray is joined in Leon Smith's team by his brother, Jamie, along with James Ward and Dom Inglot.

US skipper Jim Courier has called up world-beating doubles team Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, as well as Donald Young and world No. 20 John Isner.

Read on for predictions ahead of what is sure to be a closely-fought clash in Glasgow, as well as scheduling and live streaming information.



Live streaming is available via Eurosport Player and BBC iPlayer in the UK and The Tennis Channel in the US, with proceedings beginning at 1 p.m. GMT/8 a.m. ET each day.

 

Home Advantage Set to Favour Great Britain

Such a serene atmosphere is sure not to be repeated this weekend when 7,500 people pack the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, the vast majority of whom will be backing the home side.

This could prove essential in deciding the outcome of what is a very evenly matched tie. Indeed, Smith is planning to use the home crowd to spur his side toward victory, per BBC Sport's Piers Newbury:

"I think when we played the Americans last year they perhaps didn't make the most of home advantage in terms of atmosphere, and we will."



World No. 5 Murray has not competed in his home country since 2011, and he is likely to receive deafening support, along with his brother, Jamie, who returns to the Davis Cup team for the first time since the same year.
