After representing the country in 2008, Anderson said he would no longer be available for the international team competition. He makes his return, however, when South Africa play Germany for a place in next season's World Group in Stuttgart next month.
Speaking in a conference call yesterday, Anderson, ranked 76th in the world, said he was fully committed to the tie against Germany.
"I needed time to work on my game," Anderson said, "but I'm back in the top 100 now (in the ATP rankings) and I've grown a lot over the past two years.
South Africa are looking to gain World Group status for the first time in 12 years, and while they are expected to struggle on the clay surface at the Weissenhof Tennis Club, Anderson is confident.
"I think I've improved a lot on clay, and I'm able to adjust to the different surfaces," he said.
Anderson, the least experienced player in the team with only three Davis Cup matches under his belt, is joined by Wesley Moodie, ranked 25th in the world in the doubles format, Izak van der Merwe, Rik de Voest and Jeff Coetzee.
======================================
5 winners followed by 6 losers and a loss on the day but only a minimal one. The selections get less frequent now as we head toward the end of the week so hopefully I can squeeze a little more profit out of this tournament.
What did I say about sensing a losing day? ha ha, I have had this a few times now and it's even before I see the matches that qualify, I sense a bit more profit today to make up for yesterdays losses.
