Despite his garrulous older brother’s on-air suggestions to dump James Blake from the U.S. Davis Cup team for the upcoming match on red clay, Patrick McEnroe went with the tried and true lineup, choosing Andy Roddick, James Blake and the Bryan brothers, USA Today reports. Despite Blake’s uninspiring performance this year at majors, he still has a better record on clay than Sam Querrey and Mardy Fish, the next highest ranked Americans. He also was a key component in the 2007 championship, the American team’s first in twelve years.  The matches will be played July 10-12 in Croatia.
