Ticker - Sunday, June 26, 2011
Rafael Nadal will not play in Spain's Davis Cup against the United States in Austin, TX on July 8-10, the Spanish newspaper Marca reports.
The Spanish team will consist of David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco, Feliciano Lopez and doubles specialist Marcel Granollers, the newspaper added. Granollers was picked ahead of singles player Nicolas Almagro. It is unknown whether Spanish captain Albert Costa will select Granollers to play doubles, or go with his tried and true team of Lopez and Verdasco. Both Lopez and Ferrer have reached the fourth round of Wimbledon in singles.
U.S. captain Jim Courier is expected to name Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish and the Bryan brothers for the tie, which will be played on a fast indoor court.
