Belgium have reached their first final since 1904 although they have been fortunate. In the first round neither Roger Federer or Stanislas Wawrinka played for Switzerland.

In the quarter-finals, Canada's top players Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil did not play while Argentina were without long-time injured star Juan Martin del Potro in the semi-finals.

Britain's have beaten the other three countries to host grand slams, although the "one-man team" label is hard to argue against. Of the nine rubbers they won on the way to the final, Andy Murray has featured in eight of them, six in singles and two with brother Jamie. James Ward, who crucially best American John Isner in the first round, is the only other player to win a rubber for Britain this year.

Kyle Edmund, 20, will join an elite group of players to make their Davis Cup singles debuts in the final:

Others include John McEnroe (1978), Pete Sampras (1991) and Henri Leconte (1982)
