RAFAEL NADAL PLAYS SAM QUERREY IN MADRID FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19 - DAVIS CUP 08 USA vs SPAIN


According to my TV Cox Communications schedule
Friday, September 19, 2008
The Versus Channel - for me that is channel 139
The Davis Cup in Madrid will air
Noon to 6:00 p.m.
That is not live.
Live would be at 6:00 a.m.

Rafa is scheduled to play first, so I would think that means
Rafa will play at noon on channel 139. That is my guess.

Querrey opens vs. Nadal in Davis Cup Semi-Finals

MADRID, Spain (AP)—Sam Querrey was handed the toughest Davis Cup debut possible Thursday when the American was drawn to face top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the opening singles of the semifinal against Spain.

The 39th-ranked Querrey, a last-minute substitute for regular James Blake, will play Nadal in the first match Friday at the 21,000-capacity Las Ventas bullfighting arena. Eighth-ranked Andy Roddick will face No. 5 David Ferrer in the day’s other singles match.

“I guess I’ll make some faces at him, but I don’t know how much that will do,” Querrey said, when asked how he would try to psyche out Nadal. “I need to be aggressive and hit big serves and set the tone, do something. He’s arguably the best clay court player ever so it takes a lot to intimidate him.”

Nadal, who is 2-0 against Querrey, said the near four-month break since the close of the clay court season meant that even he was feeling a little rusty on the surface.

“I’m conscious that it’s going to be a difficult match and that I have to

play my best, but obviously some nerves will be involved in the first

one,” Nadal said. “It’s going to be a very tough game. He could have

an advantage with his serve.

“(But) a win would help David relax when he goes for his match.”
