Arthur Fery Joins GB Davis Cup Squad for Ecuador Clash in September
Summary
Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Fery has been named in Great Britain's Davis Cup team to face Ecuador in September. The competition is set to take place at London's Copper Box Arena.
The team features:
- Cameron Norrie (British number one)
- Henry Patten
- Lloyd Glasspool
Notably, former world number four Jack Draper will not participate, though a fifth player is expected to join the squad closer to the match date.
Fery expressed his excitement, stating, "I am really proud to be able to represent GB again. It is going to be a bit of a different scenario this time, at home, in the World Group and trying to qualify for the final eight. There might be some extra pressure, but I'm ready for it."
At just 24 years old, Fery achieved a career-high world ranking of 36 following his remarkable run at Wimbledon, where he became the lowest-ranked player to reach the semi-finals since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. Prior to the tournament, he was ranked 114th.
This upcoming tie marks Fery's first match in England since his Wimbledon success. Meanwhile, Draper has been struggling with a persistent arm injury, which has significantly impacted his ranking, dropping from fourth to as low as 160th over the past year.
The best-of-five tie is scheduled for 19 and 20 September, featuring two singles matches on the first day, followed by a doubles match and two additional singles encounters on the second day.
