The world number 14 has a virus and Argentina captain Modesto Vazquez confirmed he will not be fit for the clash in Buenos Aires.

Vazquez will now ask Juan Martin Del Potro to play, although the tall right-hander has previously expressed reservations about competing on clay at the Estadio Parque Roca venue.

Juan Monaco is expected to be fit after a tough week competing at the ATP event in Acapulco.
