Strong winds have forced the postponment of the first day's play today in the Davis Cup World Group first round tie between Spain and Serbia.
The match had been scheduled to get underway in the Mediterranean coastal resort of Benidorm with a game opposing Spain's David Ferrer and World No2 Novak Djokovic.
The second game up had been due to be World No1 Rafael Nadal taking on Janko Tipsarevic.
