Watch LIVE: Davis Cup group stage – Great Britain v Finland

As we suspected, Jack Draper will not play for Great Britain today.

It seems the obvious decision with the 22-year-old having only returned from his US Open exploits over the weekend.

British captain Leon Smith talked of weighing up “risk and reward” so, with an eye on the upcoming ties against Argentina and Canada, decided to give an extended rest to Draper.

That means 29-year-old Billy Harris – as the nation’s highest-ranked player in Draper’s absence – will make his debut in the singles.

Dan Evans plays first before teaming up with Neal Skupski – like they did memorably to help Britain reach the Davis Cup last eight here last year.

Draper is in the house, though. I spotted him doing what seemed to be a pre-tournament photo shoot in the bowels of the Manchester Arena.
