First Round - Great Britain v Japan: Day 1

Sue Barker presents live coverage of the first day of Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Japan as they begin the defence of their crown in Birmingham.

Sue Barker presents live coverage of the first day of Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Japan as they begin the defence of their crown in Birmingham.

The British team - led by talisman Andy Murray - claimed their first Davis Cup triumph since 1936 in 2015. Murray was the star of the show as Britain claimed their 10th title overall - just five years after they had narrowly avoided relegation to the fourth and lowest tier of the competition.

This first-round tie pits them against Japan and if Britain get through they will face either Serbia or Kazakhstan. The British team's only previous meeting with Japan was back in 1931 - their modern-day team could include 2014 US Open finalist Kei Nishikori.
