Great Britain have been handed a trip to Japan in the first round of qualifying for the 2025 Davis Cup - which will see Italy host the eight-nation finals.
Britain, seeded 11th, will play Japan in the men's team event in late January/early February, a week after the Australian Open finishes.
If they win, Leon Smith's team will move into the second round of qualifying - which will also be a home or away tie following another revamp for the 124-year-old tournament - in September.
The opponents for Britain or Japan will be either fourth seeds Germany, who reached the semi-finals this year, or Israel.
