Great Britain back in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I

After a thrashing against Hungary 5-0 Great Britain are back into the second tier of the Davis Cup.

British Team celebrating after victory against the Hungarians

Great Britain are back in the Europe/Africa Zone I after wins against Tunisia, Luxembourg and Hungary. The first test for the Brits was against Tunisia. 

The first match played in that tie was the Brit Jamie Baker vs this year's US Open second round player Malek Jaziri. Jaziri took the match in 4 sets. The rest of the matches were won though by the British team and a weakened GB side won the tie comfortably 4-1.

Their next tie would be against Luxembourg. Luxembourg had a weapon in their side which was the big serving lefty, Gilles Muller. There was another comfortable win for the Brits who now had Andy Murray by their side and he catapulted Great Britain to another 4-1 win. Andy played in 3 out of the five rubbers and he won all of the matches he played in.

The next and final opponents for Great Britain was Hungary. Britain had a full strength team with Andy Murray, James Ward, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins. Hungary stood no chance against a strong British side. Great Britain won all five of the rubbers and not one of the matches went to five sets. Even with Murray and Ward not being in their best form Colin Fleming stepped up and won his first ever singles match in the Davis Cup in straight sets.

Can Britain make it back into the big time?
