Monfils, Gasquet to lead France against Argentina

Published Sep. 7, 2010 11:19 p.m. ET

France captain Guy Forget has called up Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet to face Argentina in next week's Davis Cup semifinal.

France will host Argentina on an indoor hard-court in Lyon from Sept. 17-19.

Monfils beat Gasquet this week to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open.

The French team also includes Michael Llodra and Gilles Simon, with the experienced Arnaud Clement picked as a replacement on Tuesday.

Forget is without Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who has just resumed training after an injury layoff. Julien Benneteau is out for at least six weeks with a wrist injury.

Benneteau's absence will force Forget to change his doubles lineup. Benneteau has been teaming with Michael Llodr.

France reached the semifinals with a 5-0 win over defending champion Spain.
