Richard Gaquet has withdrawn from the French team for the Davis Cup tie against Germany, March 6-8, with an injury.
The Frenchman retired during his match against Roger Federer in Dubai with back problems. However, Gael Monfils, who had indicated he was not planning to play the tie, has been named to the team and now looks like he will play.
No. 143 Edouard Roger-Vasselin will be the fourth member of the team, along with Gilles Simon and Nicolas Mahut.
