Murray: Team GB comforted by security personnel

Wednesday, November 25 2015 by SNTV
  • The 2015 Davis Cup final is set to go ahead as planned on Friday (27 November), but additional safety precautions will be taken due to the high terror alert in Belgium.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, Great Britain: (about security)

    "We just listened to all of the right people. They have a fantastic security team here. They're over there. I've been saying to a lot of people the last few days, I get a lot of the ties you think everything's fine and the security you don't necessarily need it. But in situations like this it's great we have such capable people that are able to give us the best advice. Everyone, I think, is very comfortable in the team. It was obviously a bit concerning a few days ago. I think once we got here and got into the hotel, came to the venue and saw what it was like here, I think that made everyone a lot more comfortable."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, Great Britain: (about fans travelling to the final.)

    "It's not for me to give people advice on security, that isn't my thing. But obviously it's a different situation in Brussels than it is here. I know a lot of fans were staying there and planning on travelling through there. Obviously listen to the right people, if you're doing that. But here in Ghent, everything seems fine. It's very quiet. I think it's a really nice city. I hope as many fans can travel over as possible to give us the best support. But obviously I understand if people make another decision because of what's been happening in Brussels. And like I said, a lot of people are travelling through there."
