LILLE, France (Reuters) - Richard Gasquet was called up in place of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to face Roger Federer in the first reverse singles of the Davis Cup final between France and Switzerland, organisers said on Sunday.

Tsonga did not play in Saturday's doubles despite having been tipped to partner Gasquet against Stan Wawrinka and Federer.
