After GB lost the first three matches in their Davis Cup tournament against Switzerland, the final two "dead rubbers" were contested by Sherwood and Mackin.

Furstratingly for Andy Murray fans, this meant the Federer Vs Murray tie, never transpired.

Still, Murray got to face the world number one in the Doubles match and, despite the eventual defeat, did not look fazed by the experience.

The next job for Murray is to break into the top 100 before the end of the year. It would be even better if he could do so before the Australian Open which would ensure his qualification.

This Wednesday, Murray will face George Bastl in Bangkok. The same player he beat in the first rnd of Wimbledon.

If he wins, it will likely be Sweden's, Robin Soderling, ranked 41 in the world, in the 2nd round.

Three wins in this tournament should be enough ensure Murray's entry to the top 100, although two wins could be enough.
