Wimbledon Champion Andy Murray is set to play his first Davis Cup match in two years in the Adriatic resort of Umag, against 16-year old Croatian Borna Coric, who won the US Open junior title on Sunday.
According to the Mirror, Coric, who trains in London with Tim Henman's former coach David Felgate expressed that he could win only if Murray injured himself.
Meanwhile, the Scot said that Coric is very young and inexperienced, but he would still be ready for him.
Dan Evans will play the second singles against world No 35 Ivan Dodig with Murray and Colin Fleming down to play tomorrow's doubles, the report said.
Britain are aiming to return to the World Group for the first time since beating Croatia in a play-off at Wimbledon six years ago, the report added.
