With the return of ace Danai Udomchoke, the Kingdom have an edge over the hosts in a tie which will put the winners in Group I of the 2010 edition, with the losers relegated to Group II.
Today's session starts with Kittipong Wachiramanowong and Zeng Shao-Xuan fighting it out in the first rubber, followed by the clash between Danai Udomchoke and Zhang Ze. Danai, who skipped the tie against Kazakhstan in July, will be playing his last Davis Cup tie for the country.
"China must be so confident that they decided to name only two players for all the matches. However I believe we have a stronger team and should win," said Danai, who is carrying a shoulder injury.
Sonchat and Sanchai Ratiwatana are Thailand's choice for tomorrow's doubles against Zeng and Zhang. Sunday is reserved for singles with Danai taking on Zeng and Kittipong facing Zhang.
