Davis Cup betting is not going to include many of the world’s top players so you need to look at each team’s lineup before you make your wagers. World #1 Roger Federer and World #2 Rafael Nadal are out of this week’s matchup as Switzerland battles Spain in Davis Cup odds.
Davis Cup betting has Switzerland and Spain playing a best of five first round matchup beginning on Friday, March 5th. Nadal helped Spain win in Davis Cup betting for the second straight year last December. The Spain team also will be without Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez due to injuries. The Spanish team in Davis Cup odds will be represented by Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo and Marcel Granollers. The Spanish team is still heavily favored in Davis Cup odds since the Swiss simply don’t have much of a chance without Federer. “It’s a kind of a mission impossible for us.” Switzerland’s Marco Chiudinelli said, “We all know that. I don’t think it could have got any better than last year when we had to play the USA.
And both the times have been without Roger. “But what can we do? We can’t just skip the week. We have to just go and try to play our best.” Spain has beaten the Swiss in four of their five meetings in Davis Cup betting. The Swiss players are Chiudinelli, Stanislas Wawrinka, Michael Lammer and Yves Allegro. “It will be a good chance to wait and test your game and see what’s missing. Obviously, our chances at winning are close to zero.” Chiudinelli said. Spain has won in Davis Cup betting four times including in 2008 and in 2009.
The other matchups in Davis Cup betting this weekend have France facing Germany, Russia vs. India, Sweden vs. Argentina, Croatia vs. Ecuador, Serbia vs. the United States, Chile vs. Israel and Belgium vs. the Czech Republic.
Serbia is excited to be hosting the United States. Nenad Zimonjic, the nation’s doubles specialist, is ready to go. “It’s always nice to play at home,” said Zimonjic. “We always have a great atmosphere. There is a big stadium in Belgrade. I really can’t wait to get there and play such an important match for us.
The United States will be without Andy Roddick and James Blake in this Davis Cup odds matchup but they still have Bob and Mike Bryan in doubles and John Isner has joined the team to go along with Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey. The Serbian team definitely has a chance in Davis Cup betting as they have Novak Djokovic in addition to Zimonjic.
