KEY POINTS:
MOSCOW - Nikolay Davydenko and Marat Safin will lead Russia in next month's Davis Cup tennis final against Argentina in Moscow.
Russia captain Shamil Tarpishchev has named world No 3 Davydenko and former world No 1 Safin along with Dmitry Tursunov and Mikhail Youzhny for the December 1-3 tie at the Olympic Sports Complex, keeping faith with the line-up that beat the United States 3-2 in the semifinals in September.
Youzhny, the hero of Russia's 2002 Davis Cup winning team, was included in the squad even though he suffered a serious ankle injury at last month's St Petersburg Open.
Newcomer Evgeny Korolev, an 18-year-old cousin of Anna Kournikova, will be the alternate.
