Britain in charge of Group C

Team GB are in a strong position in Group C after a 2-1 win over France in their opening match in the 2021 Davis Cup.

Dan Evans and Cam Norrie confirmed the early win for Great Britain with victories over Adrian Mannarino and Arthur Rinderknech, which meant the tie was won before the doubles match was played.

If Britain defeat the Czech Republic in their final group game they will finish as Group C winners and move into the quarter-finals.

After his win  Dan Evans  said “It’s not easy to come out playing first – I’ve thought about the match all week and it’s difficult to come out and get your game on the court”

“I was very nervous beforehand but it’s great to come out, play for my country and get a point on the board.

“Davis Cup is so up and down, it’s a roller coaster, so many emotions but you have to do your job on the court and stay focussed – I’m just happy to come through and set it up for Cam.”
