Davis Cup: Great Britain beat Norway 3-0 to move into final round of qualifying

The brief doubles wobble aside, Britain were comfortable winners against a weakened Norway, who were without world number 12 Casper Ruud following the birth of his first child.

Draper looked in good touch in his first singles match since August last year, although he will continue to monitor the bone bruising in his service arm that sidelined him for six months.

Norrie was as dependable and gritty as ever, while Cash and Glasspool regrouped well against a spirited Norway team.

The doubles was the most entertaining match of the tie, with promising teenager Budkov Kjaer producing some brilliant shot-making from the back of court.

Glasspool was supreme on serve throughout, while Cash recovered well from being broken in both his service games in the second set.

Cash and Glasspool missed both their break point opportunities in the third set, largely down to Budkov Kjaer’s superb recovery skills.

However, world number two Glasspool and third-ranked Cash came out on top in a cagey tie-break – despite momentarily forgetting the points system.
