Former world number four Greg Rusedski announced his retirement yesterday after helping Britain to establish a winning 3-0 lead over the Netherlands in a Davis Cup tie in Birmingham.

Canada-born Rusedski, who took British citizenship in 1995, had teamed up with Jamie Murray to win the doubles rubber in the Europe/Africa zone group tie and put Britain into the draw for the world group play-offs.

"It was a proud moment considering this is going to be my last match," Rusedski told the BBC. "I'm officially retiring on a win today."

Rusedski reached his career-high ranking in 1997 when he lost in the US Open final to Australia's Patrick Rafter.
