PARIS -- Rising star Lucas Pouille and Gael Monfils have been selected to play for France in the Davis Cup semifinal against Croatia next week.Pouille knocked out 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Sunday, and faced Monfils in the quarterfinals later Tuesday, guaranteeing a French semifinalist.Pouille has played only one match for France, beating Jiri Vesely in the 3-1 quarterfinal win against the Czech Republic.Davis Cup veteran Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, also through to the quarters at Flushing Meadows, has again been selected by captain Yannick Noah, but Gilles Simon has been dropped. Richard Gasquet, ranked 15th, was also overlooked. He lost in the first round of the U.S. Open.It was an easy choice, there are no surprises, Noah said. They have all had good summers.The 11th-ranked Tsonga, a mainstay of the side since 2008, is expected to lead France in singles, leaving Noah with a tough choice between Pouille and Monfils.I cant see myself picking between Lucas and Gael before their match, said Noah, who cheered Pouille on from the stands during his win over Nadal.Noah, the last Frenchman to win a Grand Slam, 33 years ago, will wait until the end of the U.S. Open to decide.A lot of things will come into the equation, he said. The shape the players are in, how they will recover.Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, the worlds top-ranked doubles pair, complete the lineup for the match in Zadar.They were still in doubles contention at the U.S. Open.Tsonga has a 24-8 record, including 18-7 in singles. The 12th-ranked Monfils missed the Czech win and has a 12-2 record, all in singles.France, meanwhile, has won nine Davis Cup titles and lost eight finals.It is also trying to curb a losing streak. Since winning the title in 2001, beating Australia 3-2 in Melbourne, France has lost three finals, in 2002, 2010, and 2014.Noah is wary of the motivational impact the passionate home crowd will have on the Croats, who will also be more rested than the French.The Davis Cup is important for their country, were playing at their place, Noah said. They will arrive quickly, have time to prepare. Sam Bradford Jersey .

Making his first Premier League start since the final day of last season, Wilshere put in a solid display to give the watching England manager Roy Hodgson plenty to think about ahead of his latest squad announcement on Monday. And Wenger insists Wilshere, who has now played 141 minutes of competitive football since returning from nearly a year on the sidelines, will be fully up to speed should Hodgson ultimately pick him for this summers tournament in France. When asked if the 24-year-old is ready to play for England, Wenger told Sky Sports: Yes, he has shown that again today. He will get stronger and stronger. He has a basic fitness but needs a few games now. He needs two, three games more and he will be ready for England.

Wilshere missed a golden chance in the first half to mark his comeback with a goal There was a slight worry when Scott Sinclair accidentally stood on Wilsheres foot, but the England midfielder ran off the knock despite appearing to hobble for a few minutes.And just before the break he had the chance to cap his first league start in a year with a goal but could only find the side netting, bringing a wry smile from Hodgson.ddddddddddddIn the 68th minute, it was a case of job done for Wilshere as he made way for Mohamed Elneny and Wenger insists the England midfielder has no problems ahead of the Euros.
