England face a match-up to attempt to get out of the Euro-Africa zone against Ukraine this week and while Andy Murray has pulled out due to medical reasons, with doctors concerned that Murray would be re-aggravating an old injury if he participated in this week's fixtures. Josh Goodall and Chris Eaton will be stepping in for Murray as they have secured their places through a play-off system. The choice to rest Murray seems to be indicative of him moving onto another phase of his career with Andrew Castle stating that "he must play the long game and think about the majors." A number of UK-based bookmakers are offering up specials on whether Andy Murray will finally break his majors duck with a possible victory on home soil during this summer's Wimbledon tournament being a distinct, and enticing possibility.
