Federer, Wawrinka team up
Print Edition
SWITZERLAND’S Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka were to pair up for yesterday’s doubles in the Davis Cup final against France in Lille, organizers said.
Switzerland captain Severin Luthi originally named Marco Chiudinelli and Michael Lammer as his doubles pair but had until one hour before the start of the match to change his mind.
Richard Gasquet will team up with Julien Benneteau for France.
French captain Arnaud Clement had been expected to ask Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to partner Gasquet, but instead went with the Benneteau-Gasquet pairing.
Federer and Wawrinka, who won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, have lost the last four Davis Cup doubles matches they played together.
France and Switzerland are tied at 1-1 after Wawrinka beat Tsonga 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and Gael Monfils upset Federer 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 on Friday.
Federer has been suffering from back problems, withdrawing from last Sunday’s ATP World Tour final against Novak Djokovic before missing training early this week on the clay of the Pierre Mauroy stadium, where the Davis Cup final is being played.
