Benoit Paire received his first Davis Cup call-up on Tuesday and will be part of the France team that takes on Spain in the semifinals.
In the absence of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gael Monfils the 56th-ranked Paire was selected by France captain Yannick Noah. Both players are out because of an injury.
Spain and France have met twice (2004 and 2011), Spain has won both of the games.
Matches will be played on an indoor hard court at the 27,500-capacity Pierre Mauroy Stadium, with the roof closed. France won its 10th Davis Cup title last year in the same venue, beating Belgium 3-2.
