David to open the semi-final tie

David will play the first rubber against Russia's Igor Andreev.
Andreev, who spent much of his youth in Spain, is a clay court specialist and has a topspin forehand some commentators call the right-handed version of Nadal's.
It is the first match between these two.
And only one thing is certain - it will be a tough one for David.

The complete order of play looks like this:

Friday, September 19 (11am local time)
David Nalbandian vs Igor Andreev
Juan Martin Del Potro vs Nikolay Davydenko

Saturday, September 20 (12am)
Agustin Calleri & Guillermo Canas vs Dmitry Tursunov & Igor Kunitsyn

Sunday, September 21 (11am)
David Nalbandian vs Nikolay Davydenko
Juan Martin Del Potro vs Igor Andreev

However, both team captains have already said that the doubles line-up might change, depending in what happens on Friday.

On the Davis Cup website there's a new interview audio clip with David, which can be listened to or downloaded here.

Apparently, the weather forecast isn't too good for tomorrow, so there might be rain delays.
Let's hope not...
