 Murray was instrumental in ending Britain's 79-year wait for the
title that culminated with victory over Belgium in Ghent last
November and he will be back on court for a first round tie against
Japan in Birmingham on Friday.
Should his side advance past the Kei Nishikori-led Japan, Murray has
pledged to play in a potential quarter-final against either Serbia
or Kazakhstan that falls between Wimbledon and the Olympics in Rio
de Janeiro.
"That's the plan, but it's hypothetical just now. Providing
everything goes well, I would play in the Davis Cup, then have a
little break and play Toronto and the Olympics, and potentially not
play in Cincinnati," Murray told the BBC.
"I've always enjoyed representing my country. Statistically I've
played by far my best tennis when I've played for Great Britain."
The 28-year-old sealed the Davis Cup title with a win over Belgium's
David Goffin, having contributed to 11 of Britain's 12 winning
rubbers in the World Group campaign.

Victory against Japan could see Murray pitted against ATP Tour rival
and world number one Novak Djokovic should Serbia also advance.
