Nadal-Querrey will kickoff Spain-USA Davis Cup semi

Tennis Betting Lines

09/18/2008 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wimbledon, reigning four-time French Open and Olympic champion Rafael Nadal will open up Friday's reverse singles against American Sam Querrey, as Spain and the defending champion United States meet in a best-of-five Davis Cup semifinal in Madrid.

The top-ranked Nadal and No. 39 Querrey will do battle, followed by a rubber between Spaniard David Ferrer and former world No. 1 American Andy Roddick on Day 1. Querrey is filling in this week for James Blake, who helped the U.S. win its first Davis Cup title in 12 years last year, but pulled out of this semifinal last week, citing exhaustion.

On Saturday, the doubles rubber will pit a Spanish team of lefthanders Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco against an American duo of Mike Bryan and Mardy Fish, who joined the draw this week when it was announced that Bob Bryan would be unable to play for the U.S. due to a shoulder injury.

Sunday's reverse singles currently call for Nadal to meet Roddick and Ferrer to take on Querrey, who will make his Davis Cup debut here on Friday.

The tie will be staged on a temporary clay court at Madrid's Plaza de Toros Las Ventas. The favored Spaniards are captained by Emilio Sanchez, while Patrick McEnroe guides the U.S.

The United States and Spain will meet for the ninth time in their history and for the fifth time this decade. The Americans are 5-3 against the Spaniards, winning the last meeting in a World Group quarterfinal last year in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The Spain-USA winner will visit the Argentina-Russia victor in the final in November. The Argentines play host to the Russians in Buenos Aires this week.

The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles and beat a visiting Russian squad in last year's finale in Portland. Spain owns two championships, including a 3-2 victory over the Americans in the 2004 final in Seville.
