Jensen Bascome will lead Bermuda's tennis team in their Davis Cup tie in Honduras next month.

Fresh from a stunning win over Andy Bray at the Island Construction Open last weekend, Bascome, along with Jordan Talbot, Gavin Manders and David Thomas will head to South America full of confidence.

And team manager Steve Bean is optimistic his side can give a good account of themselves in a round-robin tournament against the hosts and Costa Rica.

"Jensen Bascome did well in the Davis Cup trials, and he has just beaten Andy Bray in the singles final of the Island Construction Open," said Bean.

"We had a get-together for the Davis Cup players a couple of days ago and Jensen continues to perform well. He has a wealth of experience, and is one of the players who we will be looking at to lead the team."

"Gavin Manders picked up an injury to his left hand in a bike accident just before the Vitamin Water Tournament last month, but he looks to be nearly 100 percent now, is improving all the time, and we are hoping that he will be fine. He's also in good form and is developing leadership skills, which with his experience make him a valuable player to have."

Of the others, Talbot is a relative unknown on the Island, living in Canada and going to school in the New York area.

Talbot's only chance to put himself in the running for a spot in the side was in last month's trial matches.

"We have one or two players who live off the Island, but who are always asking for the chance to represent Bermuda," said Bean. "Jordan is one of those, he came to the trials and did well, and we are hoping to get him back on the Island soon to train with the team.

"All in all, I'm quite confident about the way the guys are playing at the moment, and think we have a good chance when we go to Honduras."

Bermuda will fly out to Honduras on July 11, and spend four days getting used to the conditions and the courts before the Davis Cup matches begin on July 16.
