NEW YORK — As well as Mardy Fish fared at the U.S. Open, reaching the quarterfinals and stealing a set from No. 1 Rafael Nadal at that stage, U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe knew he was going to round up the usual crew for this month's semifinal against Spain.

Andy Roddick, James Blake and the doubles pair of twins Bob and Mike Bryan will comprise the U.S. team for a record-extending 11th consecutive Davis Cup contest. No other foursome has been chosen more than three times in a row to represent the country.

"I feel like this is deja vu," McEnroe said today at the U.S. Open, where he's serving as Roddick's personal coach. "No surprise — same four guys."

They are the players who McEnroe led to the last Davis Cup championship.

Roddick is ranked eighth, one spot ahead of Blake, who lost in the second round at Flushing Meadows. Fish is ranked 35th.

"At this point, I still thoroughly believe that Roddick and Blake give us the best chance. I mean, obviously the fact that they have experience is part of that," McEnroe said. "But, you know, not only in Davis Cup, but, you know, in big matches overall."

Spain has until next week to announce its roster, which is expected to be led by four-time French Open champion Nadal. The matches will be played on clay at Madrid in a 21,000-seat bullring.

"We're a solid underdog," McEnroe said. "Going over to play Nadal on clay and the rest of the Spanish team is tough."

Argentina hosts Russia in the other Sept. 19 to 21 semifinal.

The Davis Cup final will be played Nov. 21 to 23.
