Chris Eaton has been backed to make a dramatic return to Wimbledon for Great Britain's Davis Cup clash in September by former Lawn Tennis Association coach Peter Lundgren.

The 20-year-old came through six qualifying rounds and beat Boris Pashanski in the main draw before losing to No25 seed Dmitry Tursunov at SW19 last week.

And Lundgren, who was once Great Britain's Davis Cup coach, claims Eaton should not be ruled out of another appearance at the All England Club when Austria visit for the World Group play-off.

"If he carries on playing well, then it would be good if he was in the team," said Lundgren, who quit the LTA in April for personal reasons. "But it will be tough."

Eaton, ranked just No661 in the world, is expected to rise more than 200 places when the new list of rankings is announced next week and Lundgren added: "He plays offensively with serve and volley and I like that kind of tennis."
