skysports -

Arthur Fery and Toby Samuel secured wins for Great Britain over Ecuador in the Davis Cup.

Samuel beat Andres Andrade 4-6 6-4 6-1 in the opening match before Wimbledon semi-finalist Fery defeated Alvaro Guillen Meza 7-5 6-0.

Great Britain are now one win away from the Davis Cup Final 8.

On Sunday, Great Britain duo Henry Patten and Neal Skupski will take on Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo in the doubles where they could secure their passage into the knockout stage for the first time since 2023.

On the eve of the tie Cameron Norrie, their only remaining experienced singles player in the absence of Jack Draper, was ruled out with an arm injury.

That left Fery and 95th-ranked Samuel.

Fery had marked his debut in the competition a year ago with victory over Poland's Olaf Pieczkowski.

He is now ranked 36th and followed up his brilliant run to the last four at Wimbledon as a wild card by reaching his first ATP Tour final in the US last month.
