Britain and Argentina get Davis Cup wildcards

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Great Britain and Argentina have been awarded wildcards for next year’s revamped Davis Cup.

Great Britain, who won the Davis Cup in 2015, beat Uzbekistan in September to ensure they would be seeded in qualifying for the new event.

But they will now bypass that stage altogether with the wildcard.

Captain Leon Smith’s team are now guaranteed a place among the 18 teams who will compete for the title next November.

Argentina are also previous Davis Cup champions, having beaten Croatia in 2016 to claim the title.
