Great Britain will take on Argentina on clay, as expected, after they confirmed the newly built 14,500-capacity Parque Roca in Buenos Aires will host the tie.

Andy Murray, ranked 11, will be relied on heavily following Tim Henman's retirement but is the only Britain who is ranked in the world's top 100.

Compare that to Argentina who are spoiled for choice with 11 top-100 players. These including number nine David Nalbandian, number 15 Guillermo Canas, number 20 Juan Ignacio Chela and number 23 Juan Monaco.

The tie will be played on the weekend of 8-10 February.

Yeah but Murray may have proved that it's not a problem for him when he did play on it this year.

We're going to be spanked.

Eeek.  We've no chance

It changes that Murray has to beat a guy that has the form to beat Federer as opposed to a has been who Murray almost beat when he was ranked outside the top 300!

Of course current form makes a difference! Having to play Nalbandian doesn't change, that's not what I'm saying. But the fact that Nalbandian is now in great form does. If forms stay the same I can't see Andy beating the Nalbandian from Paris and Madrid. I could have seen him beating the Nalbandian that played the rest of the season.

I wasn't really commenting on the clay. But I suppose I shouldn't have put it here.

Thats how i feel, but i think its only because i'm so down because of the football...
