U.S. Davis Cup Captain Patrick McEnroe has asked juniors Alex Clayton and Sam Querrey to accompany the team to Belgium for the World Group Playoffs later this month. The United States must win the tie, which will be played indoors on red clay, to maintain its place in the world group. Andy Roddick and the Bryan twins are expected to play, although the team has not yet been named. Clayton, 17, won the National Clay Court 18s title in July, and Querrey, also 17, advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Junior Open in June. Both are playing in the U.S. Open Junior tournament in singles and doubles. They will practice with the team and be in attendance throughout the competition.
