    Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Fery has been included in Great Britain’s Davis Cup team to face Ecuador in September.

    Former world number four Jack Draper is not included but a fifth player will be added closer to the time.

    British number one Cameron Norrie, Henry Patten and Lloyd Glasspool make up the team to play at London’s Copper Box Arena.

    “I am really proud to be able to represent GB again,” Fery said. “It is going to be a bit of a different scenario this time, at home, in the World Group and trying to qualify for the final eight.

    “There might be some extra pressure, but I’m ready for it.”

    Fery, 24, jumped to a career-high world ranking of 36 following his shock Wimbledon success, when he was a wildcard into his home Grand Slam.

    Ranked 114th in the world before the start of the tournament, Fery went on to become the lowest-ranked player to make Wimbledon’s last four since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

    This will be Fery’s first outing in England since Wimbledon.

    Draper, 24, broke down in tears earlier this month midway through his first game since June following long-term injury difficulties.

    A persistent arm injury has kept him sidelined and caused his world ranking to plummet from fourth to as low as 160th over a 12-month period.

    The best-of-five tie takes place over two days on 19 and 20 September, with two singles matches on day one.

    Day two features a doubles match followed by two singles encounters.

    Fery was unable to celebrate his Davis Cup inclusion as he suffered a 7-5 7-6 (7-3) defeat on Monday to world number eight Alex de Minaur in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters.

    Rain delayed the start of play, before later forcing the players off with fifth seed De Minaur leading 7-5 5-1.

    Fery fought back after a 30-minute delay to take the second set to a tie-break, but his Australian opponent was able to wrestle back control and see out victory.
