Gilles Simon vs. Stefan Koubek
Gilles Simon meets Stefan Koubek for the first time since 2007, when the Austrian earned a straight-set victory in Metz.
The Frenchman will be making his fifth appearance in Davis Cup competition on Friday. He has compiled a solid 9-5 record on the ATP World Tour, with help from a title-winning run in Sydney.
Veteran Stefan Koubek is currently ranked World No. 206. He is set to take part in his 22nd Davis Cup tie since his debut in 1998. The 34-year-old is 0-1 for the 2011 season, following unsuccessful qualifying attempts in Brisbane and Melbourne and a first-round loss in Zagreb.
