closeOn the upside, Argentina's chances of defeating Spain to capture its first Davis Cup at Mar Del Plata, Argentina have increased with the absence of injured No. 1 Rafael Nadal.
Argentina will be led by the 20-year-old Del Potro. He'll team with David Nalbandian, Jose Acasuso and Agustin Calleri in the best-of-five series.
Marcel Granollers, who replaced Nadal, David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez will represent Spain. The series opens Friday.
