Facing Belgium in the final, Great Britain were already 2-1 up in the best-of-five tie after Andy and his brother Jamie won their doubles to take the lead on the previous day. Andy took to the court again on the final day, knowing victory over David Goffin would seal the title.
Playing on clay, he produced a dominant display to win in straight sets (6-3, 7-5, 6-3) as Britain took an unassailable lead for their first Davis Cup triumph since 1936 and 10th overall.
