All three days of Davis Cup action at the Emirates Arena were sold out in a matter of minutes . Captain Leon Smith will discuss possible venues with both his team and the Lawn Tennis Association and Murray would prefer to play on grass. Its a surface I really like, its a good surface for Dom Inglot as well with his serve, the 2013 Wimbledon champion said. I wouldnt say the French players love the grass outside of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He would be their best player on the grass. I dont think Gael Monfils is as comfortable on that surface, Gilles Simon I dont think is that comfortable on it. Richard Gasquet I think can play well but I dont think he has played amazing in Davis Cup in the past. Smith embraces Murray after the Scots straight sets win secured GBs quarter-final berth . Murray is the centre of attention after securing a tie against France . Grass might be a good surface but we will have to see because playing in front of a crowd like this makes a difference and it helps. If we cant guarantee that at a grass venue then maybe it makes sense to play it at a venue where we can get that. Having the crowd with you makes a big difference. For some reason people think in tennis that playing in front of a home crowd is crippling in a way and makes people incredibly nervous. It can make you nervous but if you look at the Olympics, London was our best Olympics ever and there was a reason for that. The crowd makes a big difference. I dont have an ideal venue. Its not up to me. The atmosphere here was the best I have played in, and indoor venues have better noise, but at that time of the year we also have the option of playing outdoors.
