Granollers named as Nadal replacement
On the Wire
Marcel Granollers has been included in the Spain team for the Davis Cup final against Argentina as a replacement for the injured Rafael Nadal.
The world number one announced he would not compete in the tie in Mar del Plata later this month because of a knee problem.
It will be the first Davis Cup appearance for world number 56 Granollers, who was named alongside David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco by Spain captain Emilio Sanchez Vicario.
Juan Martin Del Potro, David Nalbandian, Jose Acasuso and Agustin Calleri make up the Argentina team.
The Davis Cup final will take place between November 21 and 23.
