World number 34 Norrie survived a scare against world number 545 Tomasz Berkieta to win his nation’s opening World Group 1 match 7-6 (11-9) 6-4 in Gdynia, Poland.<\/p>\n
Fery, ranked 227 in the world, then battled to a 6-4 6-2 victory over Olaf Pieczkowski, ranked 484.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old was making his Davis Cup debut after British number three Jacob Fearnley pulled out with a rib injury.<\/p>\n
Britain need one more win on Saturday to reach February’s first round and therefore have a shot at winning the title in 2026.<\/p>\n
The world’s number one doubles pair, Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash, will make their debut in Saturday’s doubles, which will be followed by two reverse singles.<\/p>\n
World number seven Jack Draper was unavailable for the tie because of an arm injury which has ruled him out of the remainder of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
