A change of pace... some Davis Cup news =)

Same duo for Spain

Spain named an unchanged team on Tuesday for their Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina to be played in Malaga between September 19 and 21. French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero will lead the side, with Carlos Moya taking the other singles berth against the highly rated Argentines.

Alex Corretja and Albert Costa, who were part of the team that won the Davis Cup in 2000, will renew their partnership in the doubles on their favoured clay surface.

Spain whitewashed both Croatia and Belgium in previous rounds but according to one of the team's three coaches Juan Avendano, they will have a much tougher task against the Argentines.

"It is going to be a very hard and closely fought tie," Avendano told reporters after the announcement of the team. "It is going to be like playing a final.

"We have looked carefully at both the singles and doubles and we are convinced we have selected the best team."

Switzerland play Australia in the other semi-final.
