ARTICLE Ferrero out of Davis Cup
Spain suffered a second injury setback for this weekend's Davis Cup tie against the Czech Republic when Juan Carlos Ferrero was forced to withdraw on Monday. Spain lost Carlos Moya last week with an ankle injury and Ferrero followed after undergoing tests on various injuries sustained on his run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open.
"The only solution for the injury to his left leg is rest," team doctor Angel Ruiz Cotorro told reporters.
Alberto Martin will replace Ferrero.
Martin and Feliciano Lopez, who was drafted in as a replacement for Moya, will join Tommy Robredo and 17-year-old Rafael Nadal in a new-look Spanish team for the tie, which will be played from February 6-8 in Brno.
