Mac attack on Cup flops

American Davis Cup coach Patrick McEnroe wants Andy Roddick and other potential team members to play more tennis on clay after they were beaten 3-2 in the final by Spain on a typically slow surface in Seville.

"It will help them become better players by teaching them how to mix things up," McEnroe said after seeing Roddick beaten twice in three days.

Heading into the final, Roddick had played eight games on clay this season. His team-mate Mardy Fish had played only one.
