Additional players: Bob Bryan and Thomas Johansson

The USA and title holders Sweden have both nominated a fourth player for the 2009 ARAG WORLD TEAM CUP. The USA appointed 31-year-old doubles specialist Bob Bryan, 'one half' of the Bryan twins.

Bob and Mike Bryan had originally planned to play together in Duesseldorf.

But then Mike got injured at the Madrid Tournament last week and they were forced to withdraw. It is Bob Bryan's sixth appearance at the World Team Championship in Duesseldorf.

34-year-old Swede Thomas Johansson will also play his sixth ARAG WORLD TEAM CUP event. Last year, the 2002 Australian Open champion won the title together with Robin Soderling and Robert Lindstedt. This year, Andreas Vinciguerra completes the team. Duesseldorf (pps)
