Apparently we can't call up replacement, so it's down to Billy. Looks like Jake will be playing Davis Cup though.

 Interesting for Billy! And Charlie to play mixed. Could earn some decent money or get thrashed by higher calibre opponents! Take your pick!

Also, only just spotted that Alex Ward is our team captain for this. Good for him.

I worry about Billy, he looked tired in his last few matches and by the sounds of things, he continued to play in the French league. I really hope he had a mental and physical break after such a successful year.

Confirmation

According to the ATP Jan is replacing Jack. He's also named in the team on the United Cup website https://www.unitedcup.com/en/tournament/players

https://www.atptour.com/en/news/draper-united-cup-2024-withdrawal

"Billy Harris, who was set to be Great Britains No. 2 mens singles player at the United Cup, will now be No. 1 singles. Draper was replaced by Jan Choinski, who will become No. 2 singles."

In Britain's group, Argentina beat Australia 2-1

We play Argentina on Monday, probably a must win match. Australia is then on Wednesday.

In the Arg v Aus match, Arg winning the mixed was the big surprise.

They have Olivia in the team who is a doubles specialist yet they seem to be expecting Katie B to play the doubles, which she
rarely does, after her exploits in the singles.

 The event is a bit of an exhibition though really, Joe and Neal much better pushing after rankings points together and same for the other doubles players. United Cup is just a sideshow really. Dont think it really matters if we dont win, IMHO!

Yes, just singles ranking points on offer ( in theory up to 500 points so not to be sniffed at for a singles player with a chance of going far ). 

Charles is doubles WR 156, GB #11, from 15 counters. Very little experience at tour level although he did reach Wimbledon R3 this year with Arthur Fery.
