Leon Smith is hopeful Andy Murray will play in Great Britains Davis Cup quarter-final against Serbia next weekend.The world No.2 was named in the team on Tuesday for the trip to Belgrade along with Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot.That will be cut to four ahead of the draw next Thursday, and captain Smith will fervently hope the missing member is not Murray as Britain look to continue their bid for a second successive title.The Scot has said he will play if fit after what he hopes will be a run to finals weekend at Wimbledon but it would make an already demanding schedule exceptionally gruelling.Murray would have to make a quick transition from grass to clay, and then adjust again to hard courts ahead of the defence of his Olympic title and the US Open next month.Smith said: Hes named in the team, which is already a show of his commitment, like hes always had for us. I cant say how anyones going to feel, depending on what happens this week. Hes said himself if hes fit and healthy then hell play, and thats certainly what were all hoping for.I know from the years gone by that Davis Cup is really important to him. Its one of the things he really likes playing in. Its clearly one of the events that motivates him.He enjoys being part of the team, he enjoys the people that are involved in it, the atmosphere is amazing. So theres all those elements that means it remains an important part of his schedule.Edmund is nailed on to be second singles player but it was a little bit of a surprise that Evans was named as back-up rather than James Ward.Evans is in great form having reached the third round of Wimbledon but skipped the clay-court season altogether and said last week that he been trying to persuade Smith to select Ward.Smith said: Although clay is not the surface that he would choose to play on, hes playing very, very well. Hes just made the third round here.Ive got a lot of confidence in him when it comes to Davis Cup. I think he deserves to be there. And in Kyle Edmund weve got someone whos very, very dangerous on clay as well.Playing Serbia away on clay is an extremely tough task on paper but the hosts will field a weakened side at the Tasmajdan Stadium.Novak Djokovic finally confirmed after his loss to Sam Querrey at Wimbledon what has long been suspected, that he will not be playing, and Serbian No.2 Viktor Troicki is also skipping the tie.But they still have another top-100 player in Dusan Lajovic, a former top-10 player coming back from a long injury absence in Janko Tipsarevic and highly experienced doubles campaigner Nenad Zimonjic.Smith is not totally counting out Djokovic, and he said: Im not saying its a bluff but people can change their mind. You can change two players up to an hour before the draw so its still possible.We go to Belgrade and, whoever turns out for them, they are going to be tough. Its going to be very, very hot, 35 degrees plus, its on clay, its their chosen surface, their home fans.Theyll be lifted by everything, theyre playing against the defending champions. Its going to be very difficult.Smith, meanwhile, revealed the Lawn Tennis Association is still hopeful British No.2 two Aljaz Bedene will one day be allowed to play for his adopted country.The 26-year-old, who played three ties for his native country Slovenia and is therefore ineligible, lost his latest appeal in March.Smith said: Theres a lot on just now since the last decision for us to look at and start preparing again and figure out the best strategy, but its definitely something that were continuing to look into.

Watford and Bournemouth settled for a point apiece in an exciting 2-2 draw Saturday at Vicarage Road.Home-standing Watford came into the clash looking for a bounce-back performance following last weeks subpar 2-0 loss to Burnley, while Bournemouth was on the hunt for a second consecutive Premier League win after last weeks impressive 1-0 result over Everton.Watford had the better of the play early, but it was Bournemouth that seized control against the run of play in the 31st minute as Calum Wilson got on the end of a deflected near-post cross and nodded it past a stunned Heurelho Gomes to give the visitors the advantage.Watford authored a decent response to going down, but went into the break behind before Troy Deeney equalized with an exceptional strike five minutes into the second half.Things continued to pick up as Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, who has seemingly done well to drown out the noise surrounding his prospects of taking over the England job, sent Josh King into the fray in the 62nd minute.dddddddddddd. The move paid immediate dividends when King unleashed a curling strike into the top corner past Gomes to put the Cherries back in front.Not to be outdone, Watford manager Walter Mazzarri had sent Isaac Success onto the pitch in the 56th minute, and it was Success who pulled back the equalizer for Watford 25 minutes from time with a brilliant header past goalkeeper Artur Boruc from a free kick.With all to play for and 25 minutes to go, both clubs went for the win, pushing numbers forward on the hunt for all three points, but neither side could find a late winner.The result sees Watford up to 11th place with eight points from seven matches, while Bournemouth is now unbeaten in two straight Premier League matches and three of their last four to improve to eight points on the young campaign.
