ANDY MURRAY will face Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro in the opening rubber of the Davis Cup semi-final tomorrow in a repeat of the Olympic gold medal match.
The Scot came out on top in three sets to successfully defend his men's singles title in Rio this summer before crashing out of the US Open to Kei Nishikori at the quarter-final stage earlier this month.
Kyle Edmund will take on world number 49 Guido Pella in the other singles match on Friday, before the singles match-ups are reversed for Sunday's decisive clashes.
Federico Delbonis and Leonardo Mayer have been nominated to take on the Murray brothers, Jamie and Andy, on Saturday in the doubles event.
Great Britain are aiming to defend the title they won last year, with all three days of action to be hosted at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.
The winner will face either Croatia or France in the final, which is due to be held from 25-27 November.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
