Buenos Aires, Sept 12: U.S. Open semifinalist David Nalbandian withdrew from Argentina's Davis Cup semifinal against Spain because of a wrist injury Thursday. Guillermo Coria, ranked fifth in the world, pulled out of Argentina's team Wednesday because of a leg injury.
The No. 9-ranked Nalbandian hurt his left wrist during his five-set loss to eventual champion Andy Roddick in the U.S. Open's final four Saturday.
Nalbandian, the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2002, won the first two sets against Roddick and had a match point in the third.

No replacement was immediately announced for Nalbandian. No. 25-ranked Mariano Zabaleta will replace Coria.



Spain will be led by No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, former No. 1 Carlos Moya and 2002 French Open champion Albert Costa.



Switzerland is at Australia in the other semifinal.
