Andy Murray is set to return to Great Britains Davis Cup team for next weekends semifinal against Argentina in Glasgow.The world No. 2, who sat out the quarterfinal in Serbia in July following his Wimbledon triumph, was named in a provisional five-man team alongside Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot.Murrays participation could yet depend on how he fares at the US Open, where he eased through to the quarterfinals on Monday night with a thumping win over Grigor Dimitrov.The Davis Cup tie begins at the Emirates Arena on September 16, only five days after the final in New York.But, unlike the Serbia clash, Murray would not have to contend with a change of surface and, injury permitting, seems almost certain to play.Edmund rose to the challenge of replacing Murray superbly on the clay in Belgrade to extend the champions winning run to six matches.The 21-year-old would have cause to feel very hard done by were he to miss out in Glasgow having reached the fourth round of the US Open but Evans has also staked a strong claim.He is narrowly ahead of Edmund in the rankings and matched his Wimbledon showing by reaching the third round in New York, where he held match point before losing in five sets to world number three Stan Wawrinka.Captain Leon Smith must cut his team from five to four by the draw next Thursday but could include both Evans and Edmund if Andy Murray is keeen once again to play doubles with brother Jamie.ddddddddddddSmith said: It has been a great summer for the British players with Andy once again leading from the front and the performances from the players at the US Open gives us a lot of momentum going into the tie.We are confident that we can do the job at the Emirates, although we know we are up against an Argentina team with impressive strength in depth, and of course the return to form of Juan Martin del Potro makes their team stronger again.Murrays last Davis Cup action came against Japan in March, when he edged an epic five-setter against Kei Nishikori to win the tie.He showed once again that wearing a Great Britain shirt brings out the best in him by winning a second consecutive Olympic singles gold medal in Rio last month.A rematch with the man he defeated in the final, a resurgent Del Potro, could provide a fitting climax to the Argentina tie.Joining Del Potro in Argentinas team will be world No. 43 Federico Delbonis, 51st-ranked Guido Pella and 117th-ranked Leonardo Mayer.Great Britain and Argentina have met four times before, with the South Americans winning three times, most recently in Buenos Aires in 2008.The winners of the tie will face either France or Croatia in the final in November.
