Davis Cup 2026 Team GB v Ecuador tennis order of play and TV coverage – Saturday 19 September

Great Britain take on Ecuador this weekend in the first Davis Cup tie in London in a decade.

The second round clash at the Copper Box Arena is a two-day, best-of-five rubber match – four singles matches and one doubles contest – and will decide who progresses to the finals in Italy in November.

Though Jack Draper remains sidelined and Cameron Norrie has now been ruled out with injury, the hosts are not short on talent and are the favourites to progress against Ecuador, who are the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition.

Great Britain have Wimbledon finalist Arthur Fery and Toby Samuel, who has won three times on the ATP Challenger Tour in the last 12 months, set to feature in the singles, while Neal Skupski and Henry Patten are two of the best doubles players in the world, with six Grand Slam titles between them, including three this year.

Samuel, now ranked a career-high 95th in the world, will face Ecuador's top-ranked singles player Andres Andrade, who is No. 203 in the rankings, up first on Saturday, before Fery takes on 293-ranked Alvaro Guillen Meza.
