Roddick and Blake will be joined by Australian Open doubles champions Bob and Mike Bryan against Tomas Berdych, Lukas Dlouhy, Ivo Minar and Pavel Vizner. Rafael Nadal was picked Tuesday to represent Spain at the Davis Cup against a Swiss team without top-ranked Roger Federer. The second-ranked Nadal, who lost to Fernando Gonzalez in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, will team with David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez against Switzerland on carpet in Geneva. Nadal already knew he'd miss a chance at playing Federer, who won the Australian Open on Sunday for his 10th Grand Slam title, ruled himself out of the match in November so he could concentrate on keeping his No. 1 ranking. The International Tennis Federation released the official team rosters Tuesday. In the absence of Federer, Switzerland will be led by Stanislas Wawrinka, Marco Chiudinelli, Yves Allegro and Stephane Bohli. Other top players, including Andy Roddick, James Blake, Ivan Ljubicic and Tommy Haas, will also be playing in the first round on Feb. 9-11. The other first round matches are: Chile vs. Russia; France vs. Romania; Germany vs. Croatia; Belgium vs. Australia; Czech Republic vs. United States; Belarus vs. Sweden; and Austria vs, Argentina. Defending champion Russia will be without third-ranked Nikolay Davydenko. Instead, Marat Safin, Dmitry Tursunov, Igor Andreev and Teimuraz Gabashvili will take on Australian Open runner-up Gonzalez, Nicolas Massu, Paul Capdeville and Adrian Garcia on clay in La Serena, Chile. France will host Romania on hardcourts in Clermont-Ferrand with Richard Gasquet , Sebastien Grosjean, Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra playing Andrei Pavel , Victor Hanescu, Victor Crivoi and Horia Tecau. Haas will lead Germany, also on hardcourts, against Croatia in Krefeld. Benjamin Becker, Alexander Waske and Michael Kohlmann will join Haas in playing Ljubicic and teammates Mario Ancic, Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic. Lleyton Hewitt will play for Australia at Belgium on clay in Liege along with Chris Guccione, Paul Hanley and Peter Luczak. Olivier Rochus, Kristof Vliegen, Christophe Rochus and Dick Norman will represent the hosts. Belarus is hosting Sweden on hardcourts in Minsk with Max Mirnyi, Vladimir Voltchkov, Pavel Katliarou and Serguei Tarasevitch facing Robin Soderling, Jonas Bjorkman, Thomas Johansson and Simon Aspelin. Argentina, playing without David Nalbandian, will compete on carpet at Linz, Austria, with Jose Acasuso, Juan del Potro, Guillermo Canas and Sebastian Prieto against Jurgen Melzer, Stefan Koubek, Oliver Marach and Julian Knowle.
