“Never say never, maybe I could be convinced to play,” he said in a recent interview with The Times.
In the previous interviews, Murray clearly dismissed the chances of him competing at the Davis Cup Finals 2021. However, since he is regaining his form, he feels that if the management approaches him, he will not turn down their offer this time.
Since Team Great Britain has announced only four members right now, there are high chances that Murray can become the fifth member of the squad. The British player will be more than happy if such a thing takes place.

While all the other teams have announced five members each for the Davis Cup Finals 2021, Team Great Britain have declared only four. They are Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Joe Salisbury, and Neal Skupski. Thus, it will be interesting to see if the management is able to convince the three-time Grand Slam champion to be a part of their squad.
