Leon Smith urges consistency from Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans

Edmund and Evans were both part of the team that dramatically went down 3-2 to Argentina, having recovered from 2-0 down, in the Davis Cup semi-final over the weekend – ending GB's title defence.

The duo both reached career-high rankings earlier this month after strong displays at the US Open and are knocking on the door of the world's top 50.

The brilliance of 21-year-old Edmund in the Davis Cup quarter-final win over Serbia ensured Great Britain's place in the last-four, while 26-year-old Evans won the decisive fifth rubber against Russia to earn GB a place in the World Group play-offs back in 2013.

But Smith believes it is far more important that they develop consistency on the bread and butter of the ATP Tour.

"The most important thing for Dan, Kyle and the others is doing a great job week in, week out," said Smith. "Davis Cup is just two, three – in a great campaign, four – times a year.

"The Davis Cup was such a big thing for them but now week in, week out is the most important thing. The Davis Cup is a bonus.

"We'll get together in Davis Cup weeks and give it a damn good go but most important is to see Dan and Kyle joining Andy and Jamie in playing tour tennis, playing Masters Series events, going deep in Grand Slams.

"This is much better and we've just got to try and keep continuing that momentum."
