World number six Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will lead the French challenge against the United States in the Davis Cup quarter-final tie to be played on the Monte Carlo claycourts from April 6-8.

Tsonga will team up with Gael Monfils, Michael Llodra and Julien Benneteau with Guy Forget once again taking the role of captain. It is the same line-up that defeated Canada away in their first round tie.

The Americans are expected to call up the in-form John Isner, who has just made it into the world top 10 for the first time, to play singles alongside Mardy Fish.
