2019 wild card for Britain

Great Britain have been granted a wild card for the inaugural 2019 Davis Cup finals along with Argentina. Britain – who won the title in 2015 and defeated Uzbekistan in Glasgow earlier this month – will now not need to compete in the qualifying round during February.

Some 18 teams will take part in the revamped 2019 Davis Cup finals, which will be staged in Lille or Madrid from 18 to 24 November.

There will be six groups of three teams competing in a round-robin format, with the ties featuring two singles matches and one doubles rubber, all best-ofthree tie-break sets.

Group winners will advance to knockout stages along with the next two best-ranked nations.
