PARIS (Reuters) - Switzerland's preparations for the Davis Cup Final against France in Lille on Sunday have been disrupted by a back injury to Roger Federer and a spat within the Swiss camp.

The 17-times grand slam champion, chasing the only major title to elude him, withdrew from Sunday's ATP World Tour final against Novak Djokovic citing back problems and skipped training at Lille's Pierre Mauroy stadium on Tuesday.
