Fernando Verdasco and David Ferrer will lead Spain in its Davis Cup quarterfinal against France next month.
Top-ranked Rafael Nadal will be missing for Spain in the best-of-five series in Clermont-Ferrand, France, while he rests his right knee. The seven-time Grand Slam winner wants to be fit for the year's last major, the U.S. Open, which begins in late August.
Spain captain Albert Costa selected Verdasco, Ferrer, Nicolas Almagro and Feliciano Lopez on Tuesday for the July 9-11 match, which will be played indoors.
Verdasco, Ferrer and Lopez were all part of the Spain team that beat Argentina and the Czech Republic in the past two Davis Cup finals.
