LIEGE, Belgium (AP) Kimmer Coppejans, the 122nd ranked player in the world, will open for Belgium against former U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic of Croatia in their first round tie Friday.

David Goffin will take on Borna Coric in the second singles match.

Arthur de Greef is expected to make his Davis Cup debut for Belgium on Saturday, playing with Ruben Bemelmans in the doubles against Ivan Dodig and Franko Skugor.

Goffin will play against Cilic, winner of the 2014 U.S. Open, and Coppejans is set to face Coric in Sunday's reverse singles.

Belgium reached its first final in 111 years last year when it ended runner-up to Britain.
