Nadal to play Bemelmans in Davis Cup singles
Rafael Nadal will play Ruben Bemelmans on Friday’s opening day of the Davis Cup World Group match between Spain and Belgium.
Sixth-ranked David Ferrer will play the opening match for Spain against Xavier Malisse on Friday on the hard court of the 6,500-capacity Spiroudome in southern Charleroi. The 51st-ranked Malisse is the only Belgian player ranked in the top 100, while Spain has three in the top 10, including No. 9 Fernando Verdasco.
Bemelmans is ranked 144th in the world and lost in straight sets to Nadal last year in Bangkok. Nadal is playing his first top-level match since injuring his thigh at the Australian Open.
Doubles are set for Saturday and reverse singles for Sunday. In 2003, Spain beat Belgium 5-0.
