ZADAR, Croatia -- Richard Gasquet faces teenager Borna Coric in the opening singles of the Davis Cup semifinal between injury-hit France and host Croatia on Friday.Rising French star Lucas Pouille then takes on 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic at the Kresimir Cosic Hall in Zadar.France has the clear advantage in doubles, with Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert -- the top-ranked doubles players in the world -- up against Ivan Dodig and Marin Draganja.In reverse singles Sunday, Gasquet faces Cilic and Pouille -- a U.S. Open quarterfinalist last month -- takes on the 19-year-old Coric.France is without its two best players, U.S. Open semifinalist Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.Both are hampered by knee problems.Monfils pulled out on Wednesday while Tsonga was replaced by Gasquet last week.Gasquet has an 11-8 record in singles, while the inexperienced Pouille has played only one Davis Cup match -- beating Jiri Vesely in the 3-1 quarterfinal win against the Czech Republic.But the 22-year-old Pouille will be full of confidence after knocking out 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round of the U.S. Open, where he then lost to Monfils in the quarterfinals.For the Croats, Cilic is 19-9 overall in singles and Coric is 5-5.Croatia beat the United States 3-2 in the quarterfinals, with the versatile Cilic also lining up in doubles with Dodig against the Bryan brothers.France has won nine Davis Cup titles and lost eight finals, while Croatia won its only final 11 years ago away to Slovakia.France, which is captained by 1983 French Open champion Yannick Noah, is also trying to curb a losing streak.Since winning the title in 2001 against Australia, it has lost three finals -- in 2002, 2010, and 2014.The winner will play either defending champion Britain, led by three-time Grand Slam and two-time Olympic champion Andy Murray, or resurgent Juan Martin del Potros Argentina in the final. Glenn Robinson Warriors Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Andre Iguodala Warriors Jersey . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season. https://www.warriorsrookiesshop.com/Alec-Burks-City-Edition-Jersey/ . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Rick Barry Jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.
