Lleyton Hewitt has backed his Australian team to come through the Davis Cup ‘group of death’ despite the absence of their top gun. Beaten finalists the last two years, Hewitt’s men have been handed a challenging group in Valencia this week with France, hosts Spain and Czech Republic in their quartet. The top two qualify for the November knock-out stage. They go into battle without their No.
I expect us to go out there and compete hard and play well, and I think we’re a good shot. “We back ourselves against anyone. These guys put in the hard yards, not just this week leading into this tie, but throughout the year. They’ll be full of confidence when we start.” Australia begin on Tuesday afternoon local time against a French team led by two top-25 players, Ugo Humbert and Arthur Fils. It is the third meeting in as many years with Australia winning 2-1 each time.
