SA tennis need their star back

The national men's tennis team are one step away from returning to World Group I, but while they seem confident of climbing the ladder in the Davis Cup competition, it's hard to see how they're going to do it unless they have a full-strength squad.

Last week, the SA team defeated Nigeria 3-1 in Pretoria, avoiding potential relegation to Group III and retaining their place in Group II.

However, Nigeria are 19 places below South Africa in the Davis Cup rankings, and even without their best player, the SA side were the firm favourites going into the tie.

But if they want to take another step forward in the international team competition, South Africa will need Lloyd Harris to be available again.
