Great Britain men get Davis Cup wildcard, GB women in Billie Jean King Cup qualifying

Great Britain's men have been awarded a wildcard for next year's Davis Cup, while the women's team will enter the qualifying round of the Billie Jean King Cup in April.

GB's men have received a wildcard in three of the past five years.

They will not have to play a qualifier in February, instead entering the tournament in September's group stage.

GB's women will face France in the qualifying round for the second successive year.

France beat Anne Keothavong's team in Coventry this year, meaning they will host April's qualifiers.

Seville have again been confirmed as hosts for the BJK Cup Finals in November, with Spain, wildcards Czech Republic, this year's champions Canada and runners-up Italy qualifying automatically.
