James Ward and Jamie Baker are given the singles responsibilities for Great Britain in their Davis Cup tie against Russia.

Great Britain captain Leon Smith has selected James Ward and Jamie Baker to play the singles matches during next weekend's Davis Cup tie against Russia.

Ordinarily, world number three Andy Murray would take one of those two slots. However, the Scot made himself unavailable for the clash in order to prepare for the upcoming clay season.

As a result, Smith has decided to hand opportunities to Britain's number two and three respectively.

The encounter will be played at Coventry City's Ricoh Arena.
