Federer will play vs. Aussies in Davis Cup

SYDNEY - Switzerland's team manager has confirmed No. 3 ranked Roger Federer will arrive in Australia on Wednesday for the Davis Cup tennis tie against Australia starting Friday. Federer will have little time to recuperate from his five-set loss to Novak Djokovic in the U.S. Open semifinals. Manager Daniel Monnin was reluctant to talk about Federer at the Switzerland team's news conference Tuesday, but said Federer would be in Sydney for the World Group playoff. Stanislas Wawrinka, who lost in the second round at Flushing Meadows, said he has a leg injury but was hopeful of being fit to play.
