The team could look quite different come November, as captain Anne Keothavong can make as many as three changes up until a day before GBs first-round match against Germany.

Both form and fitness are unpredictable, and Sonay Kartal is one with a chance of pushing herself into the team.

The 22-year-old won her maiden WTA title in Tunisia at the weekend, and has risen more than 200 places in the rankings in just two and a half months to become the fourth British player in the WTA top 100.

If GB are able to beat Germany, they would face defending champions Canada in the quarter-finals.

"Our team have created excellent memories over the last couple of years and will relish the opportunity in November, Keothavong said.
