Vandenburg · Futures level

Best possible outcomes for evo are Spain away, tie hosted at Ibiza outdoor clay. He may also be interested in a relegation playoff, perhaps Mexico away (cancoon) or greece away (kos).

I wonder whether the LTA have learned their lesson and provisionally booked venues in case we are as successful as this year.

Tickets for Birmingham already available for members

Tickets go on general sale from 02/12 - Wednesday on the ticket factory website

www.theticketfactory.com/dct/online/

Prices seem expensive £40- £95 for Fri and Sun - no hint of details for the Saturday

I want to go but I'm going to struggle to justify paying those prices. No discount for a three day ticket.

FYI Paulisi prices for Saturday are 40/60/80

Great news AM planning to play in the first round. I'd presume that'd be it, unless somehow we get to the final again (if Bedene can play from QF onwards, then that might be achievable)
Calendar is crazy after Wimbledon. Playing DC QF the week after Wimbledon and the same week as a 500 and 2 250s pretty disrespectful- if we can get through the first round and Aljaz can play, a win here could be a possibility

TMH · Futures qualifying

Japan could be an interesting one. If Nishikori is fit, that match is definitely not a banker. But then Edmund or Evans against Daniel, Nishioka, Sugita, or one of the lower ranked Japanese men is also anyone's game. You'd end up with a banker for either team, the doubles, and then two matches which could really go either way.

Although that said, you'd hope the home advantage would swing it for us.

Eventhough the prices are steep, I'm not sure they're anymore expensive than this year, in particular there were £115 tickets for the Queens QF if I remember correctly. Can't see any problem with them selling out the venue, after last weekend.

I've just bought tickets for the Saturday and Sunday - plenty still left in the upper tiers

paulisi · Tennis legend

Lower tiers sold out for Friday and Sun. Plenty of tickets elsewhere for all three days.

Hi there. Does anyone know when the Davis Cup squad will be announced?

Jaffa · Challenger level

Tomorrow I believe

paulsmay · Improver

Thanks very much! Looking forward to it and hopefully Kyle will be the singles number 2, assuming Andy is not too bogged down by nappies!

paulisi · Tennis legend

I'd be very surprised if it was anything but - Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, Kyle, Dan Evans and Dom Inglot

philwrig · Hall of fame

Yep I'd put good money on that lineup.

Rustie · Junior player

Hopefully Evo gets to play in front of his home crowd.
