Greg Rusedski remained positive despite Great Britain's Davis Cup defeat at the hands of Switzerland, saying that the team would learn from the experience. Switzerland condemned Britain to another season in the Euro-African zone by winning Saturday's doubles rubber.
"The good thing is that the young players have got some good experience, Andrew's played his first singles and we can get better," said Rusedski.
"It's a young team and we've got to build on it."

Britain's defeat in the doubles gave Switzerland an unassailable 3-0 lead with Sunday's reverse singles now immaterial. Despite the defeat, Rusedski said he felt that he and Andy Murray had performed well together.
"For a first time we played pretty well," said Rusedski.
"We had chances in the first set and got an early break and played well in the second.
"If we had won the tie-breaker, maybe it would be different now."
Great Britain's captain Jeremy Bates had no complaints after the loss, saying that the best team had won the tie.
"Everybody's disappointed," he said.
"We've played against the best player in the world and it's not easy.
"I can't ask them to give any more and all credit to the Swiss - they were better than us."
