Davis Cup, World Group, Play-off Match

September 18-20, 2009

Roger Federer has finally agreed to play for the Swiss team, despite his painful defeat in the US Open final (last Monday), everyone could have understood that his motivation might be lower for this Davis Cup play-off match.

With Federer and Wawrinka, the Swiss team is almost guaranteed to save its place in the world elite against the Italians who have no players capable (on paper) of competing with the Swiss.
