Leon Smith is hopeful Andy Murray will play in Great Britains Davis Cup quarter-final against Serbia next weekend.The world No.2 was named in the team on Tuesday for the trip to Belgrade along with Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot.That will be cut to four ahead of the draw next Thursday, and captain Smith will fervently hope the missing member is not Murray as Britain look to continue their bid for a second successive title.The Scot has said he will play if fit after what he hopes will be a run to finals weekend at Wimbledon but it would make an already demanding schedule exceptionally gruelling.Murray would have to make a quick transition from grass to clay, and then adjust again to hard courts ahead of the defence of his Olympic title and the US Open next month.Smith said: Hes named in the team, which is already a show of his commitment, like hes always had for us. I cant say how anyones going to feel, depending on what happens this week. Hes said himself if hes fit and healthy then hell play, and thats certainly what were all hoping for.I know from the years gone by that Davis Cup is really important to him. Its one of the things he really likes playing in. Its clearly one of the events that motivates him.He enjoys being part of the team, he enjoys the people that are involved in it, the atmosphere is amazing. So theres all those elements that means it remains an important part of his schedule.Edmund is nailed on to be second singles player but it was a little bit of a surprise that Evans was named as back-up rather than James Ward.Evans is in great form having reached the third round of Wimbledon but skipped the clay-court season altogether and said last week that he been trying to persuade Smith to select Ward.Smith said: Although clay is not the surface that he would choose to play on, hes playing very, very well. Hes just made the third round here.Ive got a lot of confidence in him when it comes to Davis Cup. I think he deserves to be there. And in Kyle Edmund weve got someone whos very, very dangerous on clay as well.Playing Serbia away on clay is an extremely tough task on paper but the hosts will field a weakened side at the Tasmajdan Stadium.Novak Djokovic finally confirmed after his loss to Sam Querrey at Wimbledon what has long been suspected, that he will not be playing, and Serbian No.2 Viktor Troicki is also skipping the tie.But they still have another top-100 player in Dusan Lajovic, a former top-10 player coming back from a long injury absence in Janko Tipsarevic and highly experienced doubles campaigner Nenad Zimonjic.Smith is not totally counting out Djokovic, and he said: Im not saying its a bluff but people can change their mind. You can change two players up to an hour before the draw so its still possible.We go to Belgrade and, whoever turns out for them, they are going to be tough. Its going to be very, very hot, 35 degrees plus, its on clay, its their chosen surface, their home fans.Theyll be lifted by everything, theyre playing against the defending champions. Its going to be very difficult.Smith, meanwhile, revealed the Lawn Tennis Association is still hopeful British No.2 two Aljaz Bedene will one day be allowed to play for his adopted country.The 26-year-old, who played three ties for his native country Slovenia and is therefore ineligible, lost his latest appeal in March.Smith said: Theres a lot on just now since the last decision for us to look at and start preparing again and figure out the best strategy, but its definitely something that were continuing to look into.

MADISON, Wis. -- The Big Ten gantlet is here for No. 11 Wisconsin.The Badgers must open conference play by facing three opponents ranked eighth or better in the AP Top 25 over the next three games. They face four ranked opponents over the next five games.It starts this weekend with a visit to No. 8 Michigan State.We see the rankings of our opponents, but were going to approach this Big Ten season like we always have, running back Dare Ogunbowale said. This is why we play at Wisconsin.Its hard to push around the Badgers (3-0), a program historically known for tough, hard-nosed defenses and a punishing running game.The defense remains strong, though there is plenty of uncertainty in the offensive backfield going into Saturdays showdown at Spartan Stadium.Out of the top four running backs on the depth chart, only Ogunbowale isnt on the injury report. Lead tailback Corey Clement is listed as questionable for Michigan State with a sore left ankle that he injured two weeks ago against Akron.And its unclear which quarterback will start handing off the ball to the running backs. Bart Houston is listed as the starter on the depth chart , but coach Paul Chryst on Monday left open the possibility that backup Alex Hornibrook could play as well, or even start.Hornibrook, who lost a competition in training camp for the starting job, may have thrown the race open again for his performance last week against Georgia State. He relieved Houston in the middle of the third quarter and led what had been a struggling offense on three scoring drives. Wisconsin avoided the upset and beat the Panthers 23-17 .Both have to be ready to play, to be sure. Im positive of that, Chryst said when asked if Houston was still the starter. I told them theyll be games when theyre both going to play. You do it in hockey, you have two goalies.The Badgers could just be trying to keep Michigan State guessing, too.Houston, a senioor, has started all three games this season.dddddddddddd He has completed 62 percent of his 71 passes for 527 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Hornibrook, a redshirt freshman, has played against Akron and Georgia State. He has a 76 percent completion rate on 17 passes for 183 yards with two scores and one interception.We need both of them to keep going ... You know what, Ill let the week determine all this stuff -- with whos going to play tailback, whos going to play left guard, whos going to play quarterback, said Chryst, running off a list other positions with depth questions.As for the schedule , Wisconsin is embracing the challenge after a few years of getting some breaks because of Big Ten scheduling quirks.After Michigan State comes a trip to the Big House to play No. 4 Michigan. The Badgers then get a bye week before hosting No. 2 Ohio State in prime time on Oct. 15.There is still no letup after that game, with a trip to Iowa and a visit from No. 20 Nebraska following Ohio State.The always even-keeled Chryst just wants his team to focus on the next game.Youve got to approach each week as its own week, Chryst said. The best way for us to act and be is in the moment, so were excited its Michigan State week.Game notes Besides Clement, RBs Taiwan Deal (right ankle) and Bradrick Shaw (right shoulder) are also listed as questionable, along with OL Jon Dietzen (right leg) and DE Billy Hirschfeld (left leg). ... Pass-catching TE Troy Fumagalli is not listed on the injury report after leaving the Georgia State game following Wisconsins first drive with a right leg injury.---Online: AP College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP---This story has been corrected to show gantlet throughout.
