Captain Leon Smith has misplaced his factor of shock and the prospect to maintain Serbia guessing concerning the make-up of the British crew.
Liam Broady can be the plain addition to the squad and is more likely to be known as up given the chance of harm to both Jack Draper or Cameron Norrie.
However they’re extraordinarily more likely to play singles and the doubles crew is now locked in as neither Dan Evans nor Andy Murray can be found.
I’m instructed it’s attainable Murray may nonetheless be in Malaga for a part of the week. It should rely on his rehab, however his presence as a tactician and motivator can be very helpful.
Murray might not have performed anyway, however it is going to be robust for him to take a seat on the sidelines as we wonder if we’ll ever see him in a GB Davis Cup shirt once more.
