Davis Cup

Another day, another Davis Cup withdrawal. France has lost Gael Monfils for their tie against the United States; he cited a stomach problem. They will still have the top player in the tie in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but it briefly appeared it would put France at a disadvantage; they will probably have to play Julien Benneteau at #2 singles.

It sort of balanced out, though, because Mardy Fish is out for the Americans. He cited extreme fatigue after Miami. So both teams have lost a key singles player. The Americans have chosen Ryan Harrison to be Fish’s replacement. Since the rest of the team is John Isner and the Bryans, that means that Harrison will definitely play #2 singles.

We note one other interesting fact: Of the four players who made the Miami semifinal last week, only one — Juan Monaco — is willing to play Davis Cup this week.
