RUSSIA v FRANCE

In what is a repeat of the 2002 World Group final, Russia will be hoping to repeat its dramatic victory over the French when the two nations go head-to-head for the fifth time (tied 2-2) in Davis Cup competition. Mikhail Youzhny was the hero for Russia at the Palais Omnisports in Paris Bercy, coming back from two sets down to defeat Paul-Henri Mathieu in the fifth rubber to hand Russia its first – and so far only – Davis Cup. Youzhny, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, again lines up again against France, teaming up with Roland Garros semifinalist Nikolay Davydenko, Igor Andreev and Tiemuraz Gabashvili. Davydenko will be hoping to recover from his right wrist injury that forced him to retire from matches at Wimbledon and Gstaad.
Guy Forget’s French team is led by the experienced Arnaud Clement, with teenage star Richard Gasquet hoping to make his Davis Cup debut. The 19-year-old Gasquet, who reached the ATP Masters Series Hamburg final before capturing his first career title on the grass courts in Nottingham, has risen to No. 17 in the INDESIT ATP Entry Rankings after reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon. Mathieu, the hero for France in the 3-2 first round win over Sweden, also returns along with ‘s-Hertogenbosch finalist Michael Llodra.
