GENEVA, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Spanish world number two Rafael Nadal has pulled
out of the opening rubber of his country's Davis Cup World Group first round
tie with Switzerland, after straining a muscle in training.
Nadal's withdrawal was announced by tournament officials just half an hour
before he was due to face Swiss number three Marco Chiudinelli in Friday's
first singles match.
Nadal's place will be taken by world number 33 Fernando Verdasco who was
originally due to contest only Saturday's doubles rubber alongside Feliciano
Lopez.
It was not clear whether Nadal would be fit enough to play in Sunday's
reverse singles.
Switzerland were hit by a similar blow on Thursday when their top-seeded
player Stanislas Wawrinka was forced to withdraw after tearing a knee
ligament in training.
The Swiss were already having to do without world number one Roger Federer,
who decided to skip the opening round to concentrate on his own career.
Wawrinka, who was due to play Friday's second singles rubber against Spanish
world number 15 David Ferrer, has been replaced by Stephane Bohli -- a Davis
Cup debutant who has never won a match on the ATP circuit.
囧rz. 希望傷不是太嚴重才好orz
