Battle of the Brits Team Tennis: The teams
Two teams, the Union Jacks and the British Bulldogs, face off at Battle of the Brits Team Tennis with each team featuring two star captains and an ecletic mix of established stars, veterans and up-and-coming youngsters.
Union Jacks
Despite joking that she didn’t want son Andy on her team because he ‘doesn’t listen’ to her, Judy Murray will be captaining both her sons as she heads a team which also includes British no. 1 Dan Evans and the in-form Katie Boulter.
Looking forward to captaining the Union Jacks with @GregRusedski1 and to telling Jamie and Andy what to do. It’s been a while. ??@BattleofTheBrit https://t.co/2SLMQpaKJ6
