Spain target American doubles act

Spain are focusing on the threat posed by US doubles duo Mike and Bob
Bryan ahead of the season-ending Davis Cup final, starting in Seville
on Friday.
America have world number two Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish on their singles
team for the clay-court showdown.
But Spain coach Juan Avendano told Marca newspaper that the Bryan brothers
would be the hardest obstacle.
"For me, the doubles will be the most difficult rubber - on paper they are
more experienced as a duo," he said.
The Bryans have won all three of their 2004 cup doubles encounters without
losing a set, while Spain's Rafael Nadal and Tommy Robredo have won one and
lost two of their ties.
Avendano denied that his team had given up on overturning the big-serving
Roddick.
"It is true that we have more possibilities against Fish but we have to
think about winning against Roddick and in the doubles," said Jose Perlas,
another of the national coaches.
"We think we can make the five points."
The Spanish team will hope to gain advantage from the slow courts and the
support of a 23,000-strong capacity crowd.
