The Davis Cup Final scheduled for December 4-6 will showcase the defending champions Spain against a solid Czech Republic team. The matches will be played in Spain on the red clay. The rosters are near set for the final. Barring injury this should be what the teams look like:
The Spanish team will feature the return of Rafael Nadal to Davis Cup competition off of his recent injuries.
Nadal will be playing singles along with David Ferrer. Ferrer name isn't written in stone though. He has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury that has forced him to retire from his own tournament and pull out of the last Masters Series event. If Ferrer cannot compete look for Tommy Robredo or Juan Carlos Ferrero to take his spot. The doubles team will feature the clean-cut Feliciano Lopez and Caroline Wozniacki's favorite ATP player Fernando Verdasco. One more scenario that could happen if David Ferrer cannot play is Verdasco being bumped to singles and either Robredo or Ferrero playing doubles. Probably Robredo.
As of today the team is:
Rafael Nadal
David Ferrer
Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez playing doubles.
The Czech Republic team is more set in stone. Czech coach Jaroslav Navratil has said he will stick with the same team that beat Croatia in the semifinals.
The team will be:
Radek Stepanek
Tomas Berdych
Jan Hajek and Lukas Dlouhy playing doubles.
