Next tie 12-14 September 2014
Spain will have to compete in the World Group play-offs for a second consecutive year, and have been handed an away tie against Brazil.

Rafa had this to say:

"Brazilians are good players, will be a tricky tie. We have to wait to know what surface we play on. But Brazilians like, the style of play on clay courts, like us, Spaniards,"

"Unless something weird happens, I'll be in Brazil. If Carlos Moya wants me, of course," "Playing away from home is never good, you always have to suffer. Brazilian public will push the players. But I've been there three times and have always been well received,"
