Andy Roddick
The loss to Sebastien Grosjean and France pained Andy Roddick.
Sebastien Grosjean doubled Andy Roddick's agony Sunday in their Davis Cup singles match. Grosjean overcame an ankle injury to beat Roddick -- himself bothered by back pain -- 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to thrust defending champion France into the Davis Cup final. France faces Russia in the final in late November. Russia's Yevgeny Kafelnikov is hoping to help his country take home the title so that he can retire.

Semifinals
Sept. 20-23
• France 3, United States 2
• Russia 3, Argentina 2

Upcoming
Final: Nov. 29-Dec. 1
