BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Next week's Davis Cup final between Belgium and Great Britain will go ahead with increased security in the wake of the Paris attacks, which involved Brussels-based jihadists, organisers said on Thursday.

The British team, featuring Andy and Jamie Murray, are bidding to win the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936 and will face Belgium, who have never won the competition, on clay in the city of Ghent.
