Leon Smith has called on rising British star Cameron Norrie to kick on from his recent good form and burst into the world's top 100.
Norrie, Britain's number three, caught the eye in February with a sensational comeback win over Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain on his Davis Cup debut.
The 22-year-old rallied from two sets down to defeat his Spanish counterpart, despite Britain going on to lose the tie to Spain.
Norrie has been given a wildcard at the Fever-Tree championships at Queen's in June, with the tournament set to feature 17 of the world's top 30 men's players, including Rafael Nadal.
And with Norrie set to go toe-to-toe with some of the world's best next month, Smith has backed him to build on his promising career to date, which has seen him rise to a personal high of 102 in the world rankings.
"[Cam] has shown that he can mix it with the top players on any given day," said GB's Davis Cup captain Smith.
"He now needs to start winning matches regularly in main draws, make the top 100 and push on from there."
