Forget names quintet for cup final

France captain Guy Forget has named an unchanged team for the Davis Cup final against Serbia.

Forget named a squad of Gael Monfils, Gilles Simon, Michael Llodra, Arnaud Clement and Richard Gasquet for the tie on December 3 to 5, though that group will have to be cut down to four by December 2.

Gasquet did not feature in the semi-final against Argentina.

"I selected four players in Gael Monfils, Gilles Simon, Michael Llodra and Arnaud Clement, but I put Richard Gasquet in the group because for a meeting of this importance it seems essential to prepare five players," Forget told French sports daily L'Equipe.

In the semi-final, which France won 5-0, the opening singles rubbers were played by Monfils and Llodra, who teamed up with Clement for the doubles.

The dead-rubber singles were played by Simon and Clement.

In Serbia, France will be going for their 10th title and their first since 2001.
