Great Britain’s number two Kyle Edmund will take on Serbia’s Janko Tipsarevic in the opening match of their Davis Cup quarter-final in Belgrade on Friday.
Edmund, 21, is leading the British team as Andy Murray sits out the tie on clay following his Wimbledon victory.
Although Murray is not playing, the British number one has flown out to support his team-mates.
In Friday’s second match, British number five James Ward takes on Dusan Lajovic, the world number 81.
Saturday’s doubles match will see Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot take on world number 405 Tipsarevic and Nenad Zimonjic.
World number 67 Edmund made his debut in last year’s final against Belgium as Britain won the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936.
Ward, ranked 240 in the world, earned a crucial win against American John Isner in the first round of last year’s competition.
Serbia’s world number one Novak Djokovic pulled out of the tie following his surprise defeat by American Sam Querrey in Wimbledon’s third round.
