Entries Week 37 - 10/09/18

flamingowings · All-time great

Kyle, Cam and Jamie are all playing DC - they all separately posted on their Twitter accounts about it (maybe a month or so ago?)

Wow. Had to do a "double take" there. GB holding a futures tournament ? Wonders will never cease.

Yes. Home tie. Big crowd. Can't see them turning down that opportunity. It may well be the last time they get the chance too, so I predict they will all play - and so will Andy.

Absolutely. Cam's first/last home tie. Andy/Jamie for doubles and Kyle/Cam for singles?

As you have only named 4 players there and Leon can name 5, I am going to say that Kyle/Cam/Evo will share the singles.

JonH · All-time great

I don't see Evo getting picked yet, and he is also due to play Istanbul isn't he? Other thoughts maybe right, good points, but I do think it will all depend on us open and fitness. Can't see anyone putting fitness on the line for this tie.

JonH · All-time great

BTW Jonny gray was also in the acceptance list ahead of Harris as top British entry.

Leon can pick 5, it doesn't mean he will. And only 3 have been announced. Dan will not get picked and it would be a real shock if he was. Andy/Dom and Jay, maybe even Wardy would be above Dan.

Kyle's DC tweet

Jamie's DC tweet

Cam's DC tweet

Players are still going to put entries in if they want to play and don't know if they are going to be picked or maybe wanted for at least back up. Players have quite often had entries in and then withdrawn for the Davis Cup.

I'm pretty sure that Leon has previously indicated that if Dan produced the goods then he'd be back in contention for the Davis Cup. So did Leon mean that and has he final say in team selection? If yes and yes then Dan should be picked along with Kyle and Cam if Andy is not playing singles.

I rather doubt Andy will play at all. If he is not even there for doubles I would expect Dom to make up the team along with Jamie.

I'd say that Leon will certainly select a full 5. No reason at all not to unless not taking it particularly seriously

Yes, he has. But I cannot reveal my source wink

flamingowings · All-time great

BTW, lest I sound like an anti-Evo poster, as far as I'm concerned, he's done his time and paid the price. But I can't see him being picked for this particular tie.
