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

Jamie Murray has educated the Lawn Tennis Association that Scotland is a”nation, not even a county” because he called for greater funds for the game at his homeland.
Tennis Scotland is understood to receive about #700,000 from the LTA each year, roughly one percent of their federation’s yearly cost.
The Scottish figure was waiting to detect whether or not a bid for greater earnings was effective using a verdict expected .
Brother Andy and murray possess 10 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals as well as claiming all the points when Britain won the Davis Cup final in 2015.
However, the Dunblane doubles specialist does not think enough has been 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 advised STV:”Things could have been better over the last 10 years to make the most of what certainly Andy continues to be achieving.
“Up here Tennis Scotland are trying their best to carry things forward.
“You have got to be patient without planning, certainly for a few of the indoor centers they would like to become on the line to get built, and that takes time.
“We haven’t always had the very best deal from the money the LTA gets and how they hand that out to Scotland.”
Asked whether Scotland deserved , Murray stated:”I believe so. Surely from what we’ve achieved over the last years, going back to our junior times of playing.
“If you think about the Scottish players that have represented us in the Davis Cup and won ties, I’d say that they do. We’re a country after all, a county.
“Additionally, we must make sure up here we’ve got a proper strategy in place that is likely to appeal to the LTA, in case we do give you this money it is going to be well spent”
