Swiss captain Severin Lüthi had three candidates for the two singles spots. He opted for Jérôme Kym (ATP 151) and Marc-Andrea Hüsler (ATP 171) and thus against Dominic Stricker (ATP 336), who has been weakening of late.
The 21-year-old Kym from Aargau opens the match on Saturday at 2 p.m. against Ignacio Buse (ATP 212), who is one year younger. Zurich's Hüsler will then face the Peruvian team leader Juan Pablo Varillas (ATP 179). A doubles match and the remaining two singles matches will follow on Saturday.
Lüthi has nominated the left-handed duo Hüsler/Stricker for the doubles. However, the line-up can still be changed without giving reasons, just like for the two singles matches on Saturday.
The aim of this World Group I play-off is to qualify for the qualifiers next spring. There they will have the chance to secure a place in the final round of the best 16.
