Fery named in GB Davis Cup team to face Ecuador

Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Fery has been selected for Great Britain's Davis Cup team to face Ecuador in September. Former world number four Jack Draper is not part of the squad, but a fifth player will be determined closer to the match. The British team, which includes Cameron Norrie, Henry Patten, and Lloyd Glasspool, will play at London's Copper Box Arena.

Fery expressed pride in representing Great Britain again, acknowledging that this will be a unique situation in his career - representing his home nation in the World Group. The 24-year-old, who climbed to a career-high ranking of 36 following his Wimbledon victory, will be playing at home for the first time since the Grand Slam.

Prior to Wimbledon, Fery was ranked 114th in the world. This tournament will mark Fery's first match in England since Wimbledon. Jack Draper, who has been sidelined by a persistent arm injury, broke down in tears earlier this month during his first game since June. The best-of-five tie will be held over two days on September 19 and 20, with singles matches on the first day and a doubles match followed by two more singles on the second day.
