(CNN)An Andy Murray-inspired Great Britain reached the final of the Davis Cup for the first time since 1978 by clinching victory against Australia in their semifinal in Glasgow Sunday.
Murray secured a three-set win over Bernard Tomic to give his team an unassailable 3-1 lead in the tie and earn a title match against Belgium, who later completed a 3-2 win over Argentina.
His doubles victory with brother Jamie Saturday had proved the pivotal moment as they saw off Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth in a five set thriller.
It had led to worries that Murray might be fatigued, but he comfortably beat Tomic 7-5 6-3 6-2 in one hour and 46 minutes.
The victory completed a remarkable comeback for the GB team, which nearly dropped out of the European/African zone in 2010 but has since moved up to the World Group with growing success.
