Andy Murray will remain his own man even after his childhood coach was appointed to lead the dis-heartened British Davis Cup team, with the Scot refusing to definitively commit to playing this season in the competition.
Murray has vowed to remain in control of his scheduling decisions despite the obvious ploy at trying to guarantee his presence for a make-or-break relegation tie in July on grass against Turkey.
Leon Smith, 34, was confirmed as Davis Cup skipper to replace John Lloyd, who quit after the side lost badly to teenaged Lithuania last month.
But Murray said he won't be pressed into playing. "Leon's my friend, but I still do what's right for me. If I want to play, I'm playing for the team, it's not that I'm playing because Leon's the captain."
"I hope that was not the reason why he became captain. I don't think that's the way to make a decision on something as big as this."
"I have to wait and see come July. But, again, it's a tie that I feel we should be able to win, even if I don't play."
