Unsung James Duckworth wants a shot at Davis Cup redemption as Lleyton Hewitt's Australians look to bounce back from arguably the nation's lowest-ever moment in the prestigious teams' event.
Without inspirational spearhead Alex de Minaur, Australia slumped to an ignimonous 3-1 defeat to Ecuador in February to lose their automatic World Group status.
Duckworth stepped up for a belated Cup singles debut only to fall to the 257th-ranked Andres Andrade in three sets after Rinky Hijikata suffered a similar fate against world No.201 Alvaro Guillen Meza.
