Andy Murray used Belgium crowd to his "advantage" to help win point for GB

Andy Murray says that he used the negative Belgium crowd to his "advantage" as he levelled the Davis Cup final for Great Britain by beating Ruben Bemelmans.

Andy Murray has claimed that he used the "wound-up" crowd to his "advantage" when he earned a point for Great Britain on day one of the Davis Cup final in Ghent.

The Scotsman secured a straight-sets win over Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans, but as expected, the majority of the crowd were not behind him.

"The third set was tricky after missing a few chances early on and he started going for his biggest shots when the new balls come out," Murray told BBC Two.

"The crowd were getting wound up and you have to use that your advantage. It was a good atmosphere and it is going to be tough over the next couple of days. We have good tactics for whoever plays in the doubles."

The final, which concludes on Sunday, now sits at 1-1 after Kyle Edmund suffered defeat to David Goffin in five sets during the first rubber of the day.
