Great Britain team announced
Great Britain’s Davis Cup captain John Lloyd has announced the team to face Argentina in next months Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round tie.
Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, Jamie Baker and Alex Bogdanovic will face the third seeds and 2006 finalists at the Estadio Parque Roca, Buenos Aires from 8-10 February.
John Lloyd, Britain's Davis Cup Captain, said: “Argentina are formidable opponents and there is no doubt that we will have a tough tie next month. However we have world class players in Andy and Jamie Murray and they will be supported by two talented players who have shown over the last year that they are capable of challenging some of the game’s top athletes.
“Argentina’s record in the competition speaks for itself and they are very much the favourites but we knew that by getting back into the World Group we would have to play these sorts of matches and I am looking forward to the challenge.”
Great Britain was promoted to the World Group for the first time since 2002 after a 4-1 victory over Croatia in September 2007. Great Britain and Argentina have met three times in the history of the Davis Cup competition with the last occasion being in 1989 when Great Britain was defeated 3-2 in Eastbourne. The winner of this year’s tie will reach the quarterfinal stages of the competition while the loser will play a World Group play-off tie in September
