Conchita Martinez ha scelto. Il nuovo capitano spagnolo, che ha sostituito tra le polemiche Gala Leon, si giocherà il suo primo incontro nel nuovo ruolo con David Ferrer, Pablo Andujar,Marc Lopez e David Marrero.
Nel World Group, al Queen’s, la Gran Bretagna di Leon Smith conferma lo stesso quartetto che ha sconfitto gli Usa, guidato da Andy Murray, contro la Francia. Clement ha fatto invece valere l’affidabilità sull’erba e ha scelto Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, i quartofinalisti a Wimbledon Gilles Simon e Richard Gasquet e Nicolas Mahut, che su questa superficie ha vinto tutti i suoi tre titoli.
A Darwin, l’Australia si presenta con un mix di esperienza e sfrontatezza. Per sfidare il Kazakistan e cercare la prima semifinale dal 2006, Wally Masur ha convocato Nick Kyrgios, Sam Groth, Thanasi Kokkinakis e Lleyton Hewitt. Mentre Dias Doskarayev non cambia la squadra che ha battuto l’Italia a Astana: Mikhail Kukushkin, Aleksandr Nedovyesov, Andrey Golubev e Dmitry Popko.
L’Argentina ha già annunciato una settimana fa che sarà Leonardo Mayer il numero 1 contro la Serbia, con Diego Sebastian Schwartzman, Federico Delbonis e Carlos Berlocq a completare la squadra. A Buenos Aires non ci sarà Novak Djokovic: Obradovic avrà a disposizione Viktor Troicki, Dusan Lajovic, Janko Tipsarevic e Nenad Zimonjic.
Non ci sono sorprese, infine, nelle convocazioni del Belgio, che sarà guidato dal numero 1 David Goffin, n.15 del mondo, cui si uniscono Steve Darcis, Ruben Bemelmans e la grande promessa Kimmer Coppejans. L’assenza di Milos Raonic costringe il Canada a giocarsela con Vasek Pospisil, Frank Dancevic, Filip Peliwo e Daniel Nestor
