They played good matches, and that was a good thing. I believe this is positive. Now that they are reassured about their condition, they can focus on the Davis Cup. It is their main goal.Gasquet, who played a decisive part in Frances win over defending champion Czech Republic in the semifinals, lost in the second round in Paris and has won just three matches in his past four tournaments.

He has his mind set on it, Clement said. And I was very pleased with the level of Gael and Jo, also against players who are playing very well. They lost in the end, but I believe those matches were very interesting.France picked indoor clay to host Switzerland in a bid to thwart Federers quest for a first win in the team competition. With the best-of-five series scheduled five days after the ATP finals, the French team is betting that Wawrinka and Federer — who qualified for the year-end event — will struggle to adapt to clay, a surface on which both Tsonga and Gasquet have beaten the 17-time Grand Slam champion.Clement added that Julien Benneteau, who will also be playing at the O2 in London in the doubles tournament, could join his teammates in Bordeaux for the final days of the training camp from No. 10-16.The Davis Cup final will be held at the 27,000-capacity Pierre Mauroy Stadium, under a retractable roof.
