LONDON (AP) — Croatia and Serbia meet for the first time in Davis Cup competition this weekend in what should be an emotional quarterfinal matchup between the former Yugoslav republics.

Croatia, Davis Cup champion in 2005, will host the best-of-five series in Split. Serbia has won only once in Davis Cup away from home since 2007, when it became an independent nation.

In the other quarterfinals starting Friday, two-time defending champion Spain takes on France in Clermont-Ferrand, Russia hosts Argentina in Moscow, and 2009 runner-up the Czech Republic plays Chile in Coquimbo.
