The Lexus Great Britain Davis Cup squad has confirmed a final addition to its roster ahead of the pivotal tie against Ecuador. Toby Samuel, the 23-year-old breakout star, will join the team for the fixture taking place at London’s Copper Box Arena from 19-20 September 2026. This event serves as a critical qualification stage, with the winner moving forward to the Davis Cup Finals scheduled for November.

Squad selection and competition stakes

Samuel’s inclusion follows a highly productive 12-month period for the former University of South Carolina standout. Having secured five Challenger trophies in less than a year, Samuel recently made his Grand Slam singles debut at Wimbledon and achieved his first major victory at the US Open. His addition provides significant depth to a roster already featuring British No.1 Arthur Fery and Cam Norrie. The team is further bolstered by the inclusion of the world-leading doubles pair, Henry Patten and Lloyd Glasspool.

For Great Britain, the stakes at the Copper Box Arena are clear: a victory is required to progress in the competition. The team is looking to leverage home advantage to overcome the Ecuadorian side in what is frequently referred to as the “World Cup of tennis.”
