The Americans saw their hopes of taking down Great Britain in this week's Davis Cup World Group tie take a hit on Thursday, as the team announced that John Isner will sit out the festivities in San Diego due to a lingering ankle injury.
Isner, America's top-ranked player, and the man who defeated both Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on clay in 2012, will be replaced by Donald Young.
The former junior phenom is just off a solid showing in Australia, where he reached the third round and was the last American standing. But Young is 1-11 on clay over the course of his career.
Young will make his Davis Cup debut against Andy Murray on Friday, with first ball beginning at 11:00 A.M. in San Diego.
