Live coverage from Geneva of the opening singles match in Great Britain's crucial Davis Cup tie against Switzerland.
If Britain win this play-off they will return to the elite World
Group for the first time in three years. Greg Rusedski will lead the way, with Andy Murray and David Sherwood hoping to re-create their superb performance against Israel in March, and clay-court specialist
Alan Mackin playing to his strengths in the Palexpo indoor arena.
However the Swiss will be led by the formidable Roger Federer. His team includes
Stanislas Wawrinka , currently shooting up the world rankings, and George Bastl who finally ended the Pete Sampras era at Wimbledon - but met his match in this year's first round in the form of a bright young player from Scotland....
Presented by Sue Barker , with commentary from John Lloyd ,
David Mercer and Andrew Castle. Executive producer Paul Davies www.bbc.co.uk/tennis
