Jamie Murray reminds LTA that Scotland is a 'country, not a county'

Jamie Murray has educated the Lawn Tennis Association which Scotland is a”nation, not a county” because he called for greater funds for the match at his homeland.
Tennis Scotland is understood to receive about #700,000 from the LTA about one per cent of their federation’s annual expenditure.
The Scottish body was waiting since June to discover if or not a bid for increased earnings has been successful with a verdict expected .
Brother Andy and murray have two Olympic gold medals and 10 Grand Slam titles as well as claiming all of the points after Britain won the Davis Cup final in 2015.
However, the Dunblane doubles expert doesn’t think enough is being done to capitalise on their achievement.
The 33-year-old, who is competing at the Murray Trophy Challenger Tour event in Glasgow this week, also told STV:”Things could have been better over the previous ten years to make the most of what certainly Andy has been achieving.
“Up here Scotland are trying their best to take things forward.
“You have got to be patient with preparation, certainly for a few of the indoor centers they want to acquire on the line to get constructed, and that requires time.
“We have not always had the best deal in the money that the LTA gets and the way in which they hand out that to Tennis Scotland.”
Asked whether Scotland deserved , Murray explained:”I believe so. Certainly from what we’ve attained over moving back to our junior times of playing.
“If you consider the Scottish players that have represented us at the Davis Cup and won twists, I would say that they do. We are a nation after all, not a county.
“Additionally, we must make sure up here we’ve got a suitable plan in place that’s going to appeal to the LTA, should we really do give you this money it’s likely to be well spent.”
