Great Britain's hopes of advancing to the Davis Cup quarter-finals were dashed as Dan Evans and Jack Draper both lost their matches against Argentina. Evans fell to Tomas Martin Etcheverry with a score of 6-2, 7-5, while Draper, fresh off a US Open semi-final run, lost to Francisco Cerundolo 7-6(4), 7-5, leaving Britain unable to secure a spot in the knockout stage. The team's previous defeat to Canada and the loss to Argentina highlighted the struggles faced by captain Leon Smith in the absence of Andy Murray. Draper acknowledged the mental and physical challenges of competing so soon after the US Open, yet expressed pride in representing his country. The losses mark the second time in three years that Britain has exited the competition at the group stage, raising concerns about the team's future prospects. The Lawn Tennis Association's significant investment in hosting team events has yet to yield the desired results.
