A lot of work was done in the gym, trying to build up my endurance and my stamina a bit and I'm hoping that's going to help me next year," he further added.Murray predicts lots of competitive edge as Team Scotland takes on Team England in the Battle of the Brits this week.

All of the players will be giving their best to win the matches," he further added.
