John Lloyd happy with 2007 Davis Cup draw

The draw for next year's Davis cup was made earlier this week and Great Britain's Davis Cup team have been been given a bye in the first round of next year's Euro-African Zone group one.

John Lloyd's men will return to action at home to Holland in the second phase of the 2007 competition on April 6-8.

Davis Cup captain John Lloyd said:
"I'm very happy with the draw. Playing in front of a home crowd will be a huge boost to the team. The Netherlands are clearly a quality side but April's tie is certainly a winnable one and, with six months to prepare, we will be very confident going into the match."

The last time the two nations met was back in 1960 with Britain winning 5-0 away on clay. Great Britain hold a 2-0 head-to-head record over Holland, who are seeded second in the group.
