LONDON :Britain's Davis Cup team are expecting to play their Davis Cup World Group I tie against Poland in Gdynia this weekend despite the country and NATO allies shooting down drones that violated Polish airspace overnight on Tuesday.

It was the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine and has heightened security fears in Poland.

"We are working closely with the Polish Federation and the International Tennis Federation (ITF), but at present we're not expecting any impact on the tie," an LTA spokesman said.

The winner of the tie will qualify for next year's Final qualifiers.
