Great Britains Davis Cup team may still be getting over its exit from this years competition, but it will discover as early as Thursday who it will play in the first round next time around.The pain of losing their title defense in the fifth rubber of their semifinal against Argentina will still be raw; Leonardo Mayer blocked Daniel Evans and what would have been the greatest comeback in the history of British tennis on Sunday, with Andy Murrays team having trailed 0-2 on the opening day.But, on the tennis hamster wheel, there is often little time to process one tournament before thoughts turn to the next.Peering into the future -- with Britains next tie to be played over the first weekend in February -- shouldnt be terrifying for Leon Smith, the captain, or anyone else who cares about the fortunes of one of the founding nations of this competition.Given a favorable draw at the ceremony in London this week, the nation might just go deep into next seasons competition and contend for another title. Indeed, they could even do so if the tennis gods are unkind.For all the history that was made last November in Ghent, when Britain defeated Belgium to become Davis Cup champions for the first time since 1936, they are a stronger team now than they were during their 2015 title run. Certainly, they are less reliant on the Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie.While Kyle Edmund didnt turn in his finest performance in Scotland when he lost to Guido Pella last Friday, he has developed quickly this year. That was the evident during the quarterfinal against Serbia when -- with Murray only a spectator -- he supplied a couple of singles victories.In case anyone was thinking Edmuunds performances in Belgrade had been a fluke, he had a fine US Open, too, defeating Richard Gasquet and John Isner on a run to the last 16.dddddddddddd It took Novak Djokovic to stop him. Already a top-60 player, Edmund could even have his ranking inside 40 by February.For all the despair Evans felt after losing to Mayer, lets not forget how he came within a point of beating Stan Wawrinka, the eventual US Open champion, in the third round. The Evans of 2016 would beat the 2015 version.This year has also seen the rise and rise of Jamie Murray; he scored two Grand Slam doubles titles in partnership with Brazils Bruno Soares, at the Australian Open and US Open, and became the first British man to hold the world No.1 ranking in singles or doubles.Together, the Murray brothers have become the most reliable part of the British Davis Cup team, with their appearance in Scotland bringing their sixth doubles victory from their six matches.But the biggest reason to think that Britain could win another Davis Cup title is that Andy Murray has continued his development since the return of Ivan Lendl.These past few weeks have seen Murray play some of the best tennis of his career, as he won Wimbledon for the second time and retained his Olympic title.His ambition for the British team wasnt sated in that Belgian hangar last November. But thats not all, the pain he endured in Glasgow on Sunday -- mental as well as physical, in the form of his groin injury -- might just make him even more determined to propel the team to more success in 2017.
