Murray's win over David Goffin on Sunday meant he contributed 11 of Britain's 12 winning rubbers in this year's World Group campaign.--His 11 wins all came in live rubbers, matching Ivan Ljubicic's feat for Croatia in 2005. However, Murray ended the year 11-0, whereas Ljubicic's was 11-1 having lost a singles in the final against Slovakia.--American John McEnroe put together a 12-0 record in 1982 but several of his wins were in 'dead' rubbers.--Murray ended with an 8-0 singles record in Davis Cup in 2015. He is the first player ever to win eight 'live' singles rubbers in a Davis Cup year. McEnroe (1982) and Mats Wilander (1983) also won eight singles, but not all were live rubbers.--Murray becomes the first player to win three live rubbers in the final since American Pete Sampras in 1995.--Murray has won 27 of his last 28 singles matches in the Davis Cup, his only loss since 2005 coming against Italian Fabio Fognini in last year's quarter-final in Naples.
