Federer to play in Davis Cup final against France

ROGER Federer will play for Switzerland in the Davis Cup final against France in Lille today.

There had been concerns in the Swiss camp that he would be unable to compete after injuring his back playing in London last weekend. But the draw announced yesterday afternoon sees the world No. 2 go up against Gael Monfils in the second of the opening two singles rubbers. French No. 1 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga plays Stan Wawrinka in the opening match.

Switzerland captain Severin Luthi named Marco Chiudinelli and Michael Lammer to play in tomorrow’s doubles against Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet but he has until one hour before the start of the match to change his lineup. Federer will face Tsonga in the reverse singles with Wawrinka playing Monfils in the potentially deciding fifth match.
