World #1, Rafael “Raffa” Nadal, was chosen on Friday to join his friends on the Spanish national team where they’ll face Serbia in the opening round of the 2009 Davis Cup (March 6th – March 8th).

Nadal was forced to pull out of another tournament, the Dubai Tennis Championships, in order to be well-healed from his nagging right knee injury in time for these international games.

If the fans get what they want, they’ll be in store for a world of a match, due to the fact that Novak Djokovic is likely to meet the Spanish sensation as early as the 1st round!

And after finishing the Davis cup, Rafael still is not done. You’ll be able to catch him at Indian Wells!
