Britain to Make Late Call on Draper's Davis Cup Involvement



British Davis Cup captain Leon Smith says he is yet to make a decision whether US Open semi-finalist Jack Draper will play in the nation's tie against Finland on Wednesday.

Draper, 22, arrived in Manchester on Tuesday lunchtime and is set to practice with the squad later on.

British men's number one Draper produced the best performance of his career by reaching the last four in New York.

His run came to an end when he lost to Italian world number one Jannik Sinner - who went on to win the title - in the semi-finals on Friday.

Draper was sick on court during the match, afterwards putting that down to psychological stress of the occasion.

"It’s just a question of figuring out where he is at with his energy, how much tennis he can play over the course of the week," said Smith.

"But if he’s good to go, he’s good to go. If he’s not I’ve got every faith in those sitting beside me now."
