Great Britain won their tenth title (their first since 1936), with Andy Murray defeating David Goffin of Belgium on clay in the final match held at Flanders Expo located in Ghent on 29 November 2015.

[2][3] It also marked a remarkable recovery in fortunes for Great Britain, who had been in danger of relegation to the lowest division of the Davis Cup in 2010.

[1][4] Murray's comments led ITF executive president Chris Kermode to state that the Tour Finals was a mandatory event.

[5] On the weekend before the tie, transport systems in the capital city of Brussels were shut down by the Belgian authorities due to security concerns relating to the recent attacks in Paris.

[6] The British team delayed travelling to Belgium by 24 hours due to the security concerns, with the venue being located 35 km (22 mi) from Brussels.

[6] For his squad, Belgium captain Johan Van Herck selected Kimmer Coppejans, Ruben Bemelmans, Steve Darcis and David Goffin.

[7] The team was led by Goffin, ranked 16th in the world and possessing a strong record in Davis Cup singles matches.

[7] Their selection was relatively straightforward, as no other Belgian players possessed significant Davis Cup experience or were ranked in the top 200.

[8] Great Britain captain Leon Smith named a five-man provisional squad of Murray, his brother Jamie, James Ward, Kyle Edmund and Dominic Inglot.

[10] Smith opted to use Edmund in the opening singles instead of Ward, due to his recent success in winning an ATP Challenger Tour event held on clay (the 2015 Copa Fila).

[10] Edmund made a flying start to the first singles tie, racing into a two-set lead against Goffin by hitting many forehand winners.

[11] With the tie standing level after the first day, Belgian captain Van Herck gambled by selecting Goffin for the doubles (alongside Darcis) instead of Bemelmans.

[13] Andy Murray became only the third player, after John McEnroe and Mats Wilander, to win the maximum eight singles matches in a Davis Cup tournament.
