Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans pushed their claims for a place in Great Britain's Davis Cup final team by both winning titles on the same day.
Captain Leon Smith will name his team on Tuesday for the clash with Belgium in Ghent, and the decision of who will fill the second singles spot behind Andy Murray has become a very tricky one. James Ward appeared to be the favourite because of his record in the competition and having returned to form with a Challenger title in India recently.
But he has won only one match during a trip to South America with Smith, who watched as Edmund claimed his first Challenger crown on clay thanks to a hugely impressive 6-0 6-4 victory over experienced Argentinian Carlos Berlocq.
That must surely put 20-year-old Edmund in pole position to make his Davis Cup debut on the clay at the Flanders Expo.
Evans has done all that he can and is the man in possession having been preferred to Ward for the semi-final against Australia in September.
He won his first Challenger title in six and a half years on Sunday, defeating 17-year-old American Frances Tiafoe 5-7 6-1 6-3, and will climb back into the top 200 on Monday from a low of 763 only four and a half months ago.
What counts against Evans is his relative weakness on clay, with Sunday's title in Knoxville coming on a hard court.
