The injury forced him to pull out of the title match against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.Federer said a final practice session hours before Thursdays draw convinced him he would be able to step on court Friday. Whether he is 100 per cent fit remains uncertain.Well see tomorrow how it goes, but I practiced well today ... and I was really pleased to see that I was able to give it a go, the second-ranked Federer said.If there was a risk it would impact the rest of my life, obviously I would not play, he added. But I had similar problems in the past and I can draw from that experience to know what I can actually do.Along with an Olympic gold medal in singles, a Davis Cup title is the only major hole in the 33-year-old Federers resume.Switzerland is bidding for its first Davis Cup title, while France is seeking its 10th.

Just before that he was playing his best tennis ever. If hes there, its because he feels good and he wants to win this competition. If Roger decided to play, its because he feels hes able to win the match, to beat me.Monfils is preparing for a rematch of his epic quarterfinal against Federer at the U.S. Open in September, when the Frenchman lost in five sets after going up two sets to one and failing to convert two match points.For sure I will have this special match in my mind, Monfils said. But this one will be different. You have someone with whom you can share your emotions during the match: the captain, who can help me if maybe Im tight in the match.French captain Arnaud Clement said Monfils current form was the decisive factor when he picked him over Richard Gasquet.Wawrinka, meanwhile, said he has recovered faster than expected from his loss to Federer in London last Saturday, when he wasted four match points.It was easier than I thought, Wawrinka said. First I was destroyed, and it was difficult on Sunday, too, when I learned about Rogers injury.

Goalie coach Jim Corsi will not return, and assistant Teppo Numminens contract will not be renewed, the Sabres announced. Two other assistants, Joe Sacco and Jerry Forton, have a choice to stay with the Sabres after being offered jobs within the teams hockey department. The moves came three days after the Sabres (21-51-10) finished last in the standings, and closed one the worst and most tumultuous seasons in their 44-year history. The shake-up doesnt come as a surprise. Nolan inherited the staff in November, after being hired on an interim basis to replace Ron Rolston. Nolan has since been signed to a three-year contract and it was widely anticipated that he would begin hiring his own staff this off-season. Former NHL goalie Arturs Irbe is regarded a potential candidate to join Nolans staff. Irbe is from Latvia and has previously worked with Nolan, who has spent the past three years coaching the countrys national team. Corsi was the Sabrees longest tenured assistant after completing his 16th season in Buffalo. Josh Jackson Packers Jersey. He played a role in mentoring former Sabres great Dominik Hasek and then Ryan Miller, who was traded to St. Louis on Feb. 28. Numminen, a former NHL defenceman, completed his third season in Buffalo after being first hired by former Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. Sacco, the former Colorado Avalanche head coach, and Forton were hired by Rolston last off-season. In the meantime, Sacco will be working as an assistant under United States coach Peter Laviolette at the World Hockey championships in Belarus next month. The Sabres also announced theyre adding a second minor-league affiliate after reaching a deal with Elmira (N.Y.) of the ECHL. Elmira will complement the Sabres top affiliate, AHL Rochester. Both minor-league teams are located within 150 miles of Buffalo. Buffalo is in the midst of rebuilding from scratch. Through a series of trades, the Sabres have stockpiled a significant number of draft picks spread over the next three years, spurring the teams need to add another affiliate.
