Henman: This issue runs deeper than Lithuania loss
As talk of John Lloyd’s impending departure as Davis Cup captain heightens, there’s only one man for the job (and he doesn’t want it…)

Hello from Portugal!
I’m so excited! It’s been ages since I’ve been at a competition and I feel so happy and proud to be wearing my Great Britain tracksuit here in Portugal for Fed Cup.
We’ve spent the last few days training here and adjusting to the different speed of the indoor courts and we’re now all ready and raring to go. We’ve been drawn in a group with Belarus, Austria and Bosnia and it’s against Bosnia who we kick the competition off with.
They’re the weakest in the group on paper but nothing should be taken for granted as anything can happen in an event like this. Belarus and lead by world number 6, Victoria Azarenka and Austria are lead by the experienced Sybille Bammer. Both teams have good depth but we were expecting tough matches and are well prepared for it.
I’ve been practicing well and I feel like I’m just enjoying everything that bit more because I’ve been out of it for so long. It’s been nice to catch up with some of the other girls from the other nations who I haven’t seen for a while but nothing has changed too much and the grumpy girls are still grumpy! That side of things, I haven’t missed!
If the captain, Nigel Sears selects me to play in either singles or doubles I’ll definitely be up for it. I know how hard I’ve worked to even have my spot in the team and I’m grateful for the belief he’s shown in me. The other girls are all playing well too and we’re all desperate to help the team get out of this group and do well for each other as Fed Cup is the one team competition in the calendar.
Wish us all luck and I’ll try and keep you updated on how we get on.

By the way, my Aussie Open prediction for Serena Williams and Roger Federer were correct but you can ignore the other stuff!
