Captain Pietie Norval said he was pleased with the result of the draw on Friday ahead of the Renault South Africa team's Davis Cup World Group II tie against Morocco to be held at Groenkloof Tennis Club in Pretoria on Saturday and Sunday.
At the draw, which took place at Garden Court Hatfield hotel, it was revealed that SA No 1 Alec Beckley would be up first on Saturday.
Beckley was drawn against Morocco No 2 Yassine Dlimi in the opening singles match of the tie, while SA No 2 Marc van der Merwe was drawn against Morocco No 1 Taha Baadi in the second clash.
On Sunday, Beckley and Thando Longwe-Smit were set to face Yassine Dlimi and Younes Lalami Laaroussi in the doubles contest, ahead of the reverse singles matches.
Both teams had the opportunity to change their doubles pairings up to one hour before the match on Sunday, as well as their selected players for the reverse singles, which could be done up to 15 minutes after the doubles match had concluded.
Norval was relieved to have Beckley playing first, which he felt would be key in taking the pressure off Van der Merwe, who was making his Davis Cup debut.
"I was hoping for that, seeing that you always bargain on your best player to come through on day one, and if he (Beckley) does that it takes a lot of pressure off that next match because we have a debutant playing in Marc van der Merwe," Norval said.
"I chose Marc as our No 2 because of the way he plays. He's the type of player who is extremely consistent, so if he doesn't get blown away he can hang in there and kind of frustrate people, especially at high altitude."
Norval was also confident in the doubles pairing of Beckley and Longwe-Smit, with Longwe-Smit also making his Davis Cup debut.
"I've been watching Thando (Longwe-Smit) for a while, even before the last tie (against Nigeria earlier this year), and I was aware of him being a very good doubles player," said Norval, a former Olympic doubles silver medallist and French Open mixed doubles champion.
"He's a decent singles player as well, but arguably he could even be our best doubles player, so he's got a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as a leading player, seeing that Alec (Beckley) is the leading singles player.
"You need someone to be ready because Alec will be slightly more tired when he plays, and Thando deserves to be our leading doubles player."
It was confirmed ahead of the draw for the Davis Cup tie that Joma had partnered with Tennis South Africa (TSA) as the federation's official technical sponsor.
Courtney Williams, commercial and sponsorship manager of Joma South Africa, said: "It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of Joma Global, to announce that we are the official technical sponsor of Tennis South Africa."
He continued: "From the Davis Cup to the Billie Jean King Cup, to juniors and wheelchair championships, our commitment is not only to provide world-class apparel and footwear but also to give every player and official the confidence when stepping out onto the court, knowing they are wearing a brand trusted by the biggest and best world tennis federations."
Gavin Crookes, the TSA president, said the national governing body was delighted to have another globally renowned brand on board as the federation continued to go from strength to strength.
"We would like to acknowledge and welcome Joma on board as Tennis South Africa's technical provider," Crookes said.
"I had the great privilege of attending Wimbledon to meet the Joma family and seeing what a family is about, and as Tennis South Africa we are pleased to be joining this family. It's also incredibly encouraging to see nations like Morocco, Italy, Spain and Kazakhstan are also part of this Joma family, and I really see this as a great partnership going forward."
