WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- World No. 4 Nikolay Davydenko will headline the Russian team and No. 6-ranked Andy Roddick anchors the U.S. team in next week's Davis Cup final in Oregon.
Russia, the defending champion, and the United States are to square off in a best-of-five series of matches Nov. 30-Dec. 2 on a hard court at Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Ore., for the 2007 Davis Cup championship.
Davydenko and Igor Andreev, Mikhail Youzhny and Dmitry Tursunov make up the Russian team while the Americans will counter with Roddick, James Blake and the doubles team of twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan.
The schedule calls for two singles matches Nov. 30, with a doubles match on Dec. 1 and reverse singles Dec. 2.
The event is the first Davis Cup final in the United States since the Americans beat a Swiss team in 1992 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The United States has won 31 Davis Cup titles, but hasn't finished first since 1995 when a Pete Sampras-led squad beat the Russian team in Moscow. The Russians have two Davis Cup titles, with a 2002 championship to go with the 2006 win.
