from our very own John Farnworth. See you.

Morning, everyone, Leah here this Friday with today's big stories

including Great Britain get ready for the Davis Cup Final.

And a tiger on the lose in Mexico. This is Newsround.

It's the start of a big weekend for the Andy Murray and the rest

of Great Britain tennis team - who are competing in the finals

The competition is a bit like the World Cup tournament where

players represent their country to see who's the best in the world.

Let's find out a bit more about this historic cup.

The Davis Cup began more than 100 years ago as a competition

Now it is the world's largest international

team competition with more than 120 countries taking part this year.

Each player represents the country as part of a team who

In the early years, Britain dominated

the competition but now they haven't won the title since 1936.

Britain won a semifinal against Australia

and are now ready to play Belgium in a three-day final showdown.

The last time Team GB got this close to winning was

The team's success has all been put down to the hard work

He took over the captaincy in 2010 and even coached Britain's

top player Andy Murray when he was just 11 years old.

Now, with the help of the Murray brothers,

Well, Andy and Jamie will be pairing up together in the doubles

But what is it like being part of one

We sent some of your questions to Jamie and Andy to answer.

The first few questions are from Fox primary school. This is from

Leonardo. What is your favourite part of being a tennis player and

why? The favourite part is getting to

play high-level sports and travel the world. Playing against the best

players in the world and some of the biggest stadiums. For me that is

what is exciting and what gets you out of bed in the morning.

This is from Scarlet. We don't really compete against each

other because I am playing singles and when I do play doubles,

hopefully I am always on the same side as Jamie. We don't really

compete with each other any more. About 800 professional matches in my

career and in singles I have one about 550 of them so far.

This is from Aaron. It is really weird. I would not

recommend it. It was the first time we had to do it at professional

level and I tried to focus on the ball and not look at who was then

the other end of the court because it was a bit intimidating, perhaps,

awkward more likely. Kyle Edmund will be making

his debut in the Davis Cup today when he kicks off the attack

for Team GB, playing against We'll keep you updated

on how they get on this afternoon France will hold

a special memorial service to remember the 130 people who died in

the attacks in Paris two weeks ago. President Francoise Hollande

wants everyone to hang a French flag outside their homes

and offices as a mark of respect. Over in Mexico, this big cat

has spent a month on the lose after he escaped from a zoo

and disappeared into the wild. Police officers,

soldiers and cat experts have been CCTV has captured the movements

of the animal and they expect to capture

the animal in the next few days Next, millions of people

have enjoyed Giant balloons,

including Snoopy and Paddington, joined dancers and floating elves

in the street show spectacular. The parade takes place every year

and helps marks the start But of course

the event wouldn't have been That's all from me for now but I'll

be back with more Newsround
