Despite having the power-house Andy Murray, on their side, Britten, was overwhelmed in their opening round match for the Davis Cup. This was a sad display from everyone except Murray. Murray, even risked further damage to his left wrist, (which is currently recovering from a strain) by coming out to play in the Davis Cup. Britten's Dan Evans, was put in the final match against Poland, but he clearly wasn't ready for that responsibility and he lost Michal Przysiezny in straight sets, giving Poland a narrow victory over Britten 3-2.
I think that maybe in a few years Evans, will be a better player, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he suffers the same fate as Donald Young. A talented player, with great touch who just doesn't have a big enough game to stay competitive in the important matches. I could be wrong about Evans and I hope that I am. Britten, desperately needs someone to back them up in the Davis Cup. Had it not been for Andy Murray, this would have been an absolutely humiliating defeat for them.
