MOSCOW, July 12 (Reuters) - Russia could be without two top players for
this week's Davis Cup quarter-final against France with Nikolay Davydenko
possibly joining injured Marat Safin on the sidelines.
"We'll wait until Thursday's draw to decide who is going to play," Russia
captain Shamil Tarpishchev told a news conference on Tuesday.
The 2002 champions, who had already lost Australian Open champion Safin
with a knee injury, could also be without Davydenko, who is nursing a
painful wrist injury.
The French Open semi-finalist, however, said he would be fit for the tie
on clay at Moscow's Olympic Stadium.
"I'll be ready to play come Friday and unlike Wimbledon, I'll finish the
match no matter what. I can promise you that," said Davydenko, who retired
injured from his second-round match against Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman at
Wimbledon last month.
But Russia's world number seven, who also retired from his opening match
at last week's Gstaad Open with the same problem, would not disclose the
details of his injury.
"No, I won't go into the specifics," he said. "All I can say is that it
is being treated on a daily basis.
"I was told that I don't have any ligament damage. It's just an
inflammation of a joint, so I should be okay for Friday."
If Davydenko is unable to play, Tarpishchev would have to look to Mikhail
Youzhny to reproduce his 2002 heroics.
Then, Youzhny came from two sets down to beat Paul-Henri Mathieu in the
deciding fifth rubber in Paris to clinch Russia's first Davis Cup title.
France captain Guy Forget, who is looking to rising teenage talent Richard
Gasquet to spearhead the French challenge, refused to accept that the
injuries gave his team the edge.
"I don't think you can call us favourites," he said. "With Marat in the
team Russia are certainly one of the best teams in the world but even
without him, they're still an unbelievable team, no question about it.
"We have a young, ambitious team," added Forget. "If we play good quality
tennis, then we have a chance."
The tie will be the first meeting between the two nations since Russia's
victory in the 2002 final at Bercy.
