Billy Harris

• Age: 29
• Ranking: 104
• Davis Cup ties played: N/A
• Davis Cup record: N/A

Harris has received his first Davis Cup call up off the back of a standout summer on the grass that has led him to skyrocket up the ATP rankings. The British No.3 reached the semi-finals at the Lexus Surbiton Trophy and Rothesay Open Nottingham before going on to reach his first ATP 500 quarter-final at the cinch Championships and the final four at the Rothesay International Eastbourne.

The 29-year-old has made a smooth transition to the hard courts after he came through qualifying to reach the main draw at the Atlanta Open and reached the final qualifying round at the US Open. With a big serve and deadly forehand, Harris is set to be a reliable option in Smith’s team ahead of this year’s Group Stages.

Dan Evans

• Age: 34
• Ranking: 184
• Davis Cup ties played: 25

Entering as the most experience Davis Cup player in the squad, Evans knows exactly what it takes to win the coveted trophy. A part of the 2015 squad who brought home Britain’s first Davis Cup title in 79-years, Evans’ has represented his country at an astonishing 25 ties. Having secured 16 wins for GB, Evans produced one of his best efforts last year when he teamed up with Neal Skupski for the deciding doubles rubber against France. The pair produced one of the all-time Davis Cup comebacks to defeat Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 1-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(6).

Henry Patten

• Age: 28
• Ranking: 12 – doubles
• Davis Cup ties played: N/A
• Davis Cup record: N/A

Reigning Wimbledon men’s doubles champion Patten comes in as the second Davis Cup debutant in Manchester. Back in April, the 28-year-old joined forces with Finland’s Harri Heliovaara – a player the Brits’ will likely face in the Group Stages – with the pair going on to earn two ATP titles in Marrakech and Lyon. However, their biggest accomplishment yet came at this year’s Championships at Wimbledon where they got their hands around the coveted crown to mark their first major title.

Patten’s dominance on the doubles court in recent months places him as a perfect weapon in the British side as they bid to reach the Final 8 in Malaga.

• Ranking: 19
• Davis Cup ties played: 11
• Davis Cup record: 7-4

Former doubles world No.1 Skupski will be Manchester bound again for this year’s Group Stages, where he’ll arrive in fine form. The grass court season saw Skupski hit his best form of the season so far, as he teamed up with New Zealand’s Michael Venus to lift back-to-back titles at the cinch Championships and Rothesay International Eastbourne. The 2023 Group Stages saw Skupski join forces with Evans to win two out of their three doubles rubbers and will be a reliable weapon in Smith’s arsenal later this year.
