PARIS (AP) — Hugo Gaston has been rewarded for some impressive performances at last week’s Paris Masters with a first call up to France’s Davis Cup team.

Veterans Richard Gasquet and Adrian Mannarino were also selected for singles with Grand-Slam winning partners Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut in doubles. The versatile Arthur Rinderknech is also selected. France is in Group C with Britain and the Czech Republic for the Nov. 25-Dec. 5 tournament.
