This Friday, the Davis Cup semi-finals for the World Group will be played. Benoit Paire, who has been called up by the French national team to face Spain, faces Pablo Carreño Busta in the first meeting of the tie.

In statements collected by L'Equipe, Paire showed himself with ambition for the duel. "I am very proud to be part of this team. This weekend I can help change the bad image that some have of me and demonstrate that I only think of winning and not breaking rackets. I just want to give France a point" said the world number 54.
