–

The Brits – who are missing Jack Draper (a late withdrawal) – enter the United Cup fray with a fellow, Billy Harris, who six month ago couldn’t have imagined himself in this situation.

Great for him, but as with Team China (missing Zheng Qinwen), not so great for the event’s integrity when there’s a late withdrawal.

Team Poland – intact with Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz on board – also get into action.

And Maria Sakkari v Elena Rybakina will tell us a fair bit about where Sakkari is, as she returns from a shoulder issue.
