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

Jamie Murray has reminded the Lawn Tennis Association that Scotland is a”country, not even a county” as he called for greater funds for the game at his homeland.
Tennis Scotland is known to get about #700,000 from the LTA each calendar year, about one per cent of the federation’s annual expenditure.
The figure was waiting to detect whether or not a bid for greater income has been successful using a verdict expected.
Brother Andy and murray possess 10 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals between them, as well as claiming all the things once Britain won the Davis Cup final in 2015.
However, the Dunblane doubles expert doesn’t believe enough has been done to capitalise on their success.
The 33-year-old, who is competing at the Murray Trophy Challenger Tour event in Glasgow this week, advised STV:”Things could have been better over the previous 10 years to get the most out of what certainly Andy continues to be achieving.
“Up here Scotland are trying their very best to take things forward.
“You’ve got to be patient without preparation, certainly for some of those indoor centers they would like to become on the line to get constructed, which requires time.
“We have not always had the best price from the money that the LTA gets and how they hand out that to Tennis Scotland.”
Asked whether Scotland deserved more, Murray stated:”I think so. Surely from what we’ve achieved over going back into our days of playing.
“If you consider the Scottish players who have represented us in the Davis Cup and won twists, I’d say they do. We are a state after all, not a county.
“Also, we need to make sure up here we’ve got a suitable strategy in place that is likely to appeal to the LTA, if we really do give you that money it is likely to be well invested ”
