The draw for the Davis Cup final between France and Belgium was released on Thursday and Lucas Pouille will kick-off the final with a clash against David Goffin, who showed his form by beating Roger Federer to reach the final in London last week.
The second match will see Jo-Wilfried Tsonga take on Steve Darcis. France's doubles department will be handled by Richard Gasquet and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who face the duo of Ruben Bemelmans and Joris de Loore on Saturday.
Sunday sees two crucial matches, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga locking horns with David Goffin, while Lucas Pouille faces Steve Darcis.
"France are clearly the favourites because they're playing at home, have won the Davis Cup several times before and have a very consistent team with very good players," David Goffin had told AFP .
