PanARMENIAN.Net - Last year's runners-up Argentina are looking to use their wealth of experience heading into this year's Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round tie, while hosts and three-time champions Germany are banking on the home crowd support.

Argentine No. 1 Juan Monaco will look to extend his winning run when he takes on Germany's Philipp Petzschner in the opening rubber of this Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round tie.

German No. 1 Florian Mayer will follow on Friday, Feb 10 with a showdown with Argentina's Davis Cup stalwart David Nalbandian, who is playing in his 10th tie for the South Americans.

“I’m getting older. That’s the worst part. But I’m happy to play Davis Cup. This is one of the competitions that I really like. And I’m happy to be here,” said Nalbandian, who leads Mayer 2-1 in previous meetings, but lost their most recent clash in Shanghai last year, Davis Cup official website reported.
