MADRID (Reuters) - Captain Carlos Moya has named a depleted team led by 19th-ranked Roberto Bautista for Spain's Davis Cup World Group playoff against Brazil this month.

The top three Spaniards - injured world number two Rafa Nadal, number five David Ferrer and 18th-ranked Tommy Robredo - are all unavailable so Marcel Granollers and doubles specialists Marc Lopez and David Marrero come into the team for the Sao Paulo tie on Sept. 12-14.
