Dan Evans will make his comeback from a drugs ban in Glasgow next week after being handed a wildcard entry by the Lawn Tennis Association.
Evans, 24, who has served a one-year ban after testing positive for cocaine during the Barcelona Open last year, is set to play in the qualifying draw for the Glasgow Trophy, an ATP Challenger tournament.
"The LTA condemns any form of doping, which has no place in our sport," LTA performance director Simon Timson said.
"We have been having regular contact with Dan and he has shown genuine commitment to getting his tennis career back on track.
"We have provided a structured programme of sports science and medicine support to help his journey since Dan became eligible again."
Timson said the former British number two had passed all the LTA's latest checks over a six-week period and will continue to be assessed.
"Our continued support will be entirely dependent on a non-negotiable commitment to ongoing monitoring," Timson added.
Evans rose to a career-high ranking of number 41 in the world last year and reached the fourth round of the 2017 Australian Open after knocking out former champion Marin Cilic.
"I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this difficult period," said Evans, down to 422 in the rankings.
"I have learned a lot about myself in my time away from the game, a sport that I love very dearly. I'm grateful to those who have stood by me, the fans and the LTA for the opportunity to compete again."
The Glasgow Trophy, a $100,000 ATP Challenger tournament, will be held at Scotstoun Leisure Centre from April 28-May 6.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
