Five months on from the heartbreak of Málaga, where they came so close to battling for the Billie Jean King Cup trophy before succumbing to Slovakia in a brutal semi-final, Great Britain will begin their pursuit of the sport’s flagship team competition as they face Germany on Friday and the Netherlands on Saturday in The Hague for a spot in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.

‘Je liegt, het was een 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡!’ 💩 Davidovich Fokina wint van Draper, maar is er absoluut niet trots op 🫣 #ZiggoSport #ATP #RolexMonteCarloMasters https://t.co/APXZCsVAlT
DAVIDOVICH FOKINA, Alejandro: "Today was a rollercoaster with my mind. I was playing better tennis but my mind was saying me a lot of bullshit."
