LYON, France: France rubber-stamped their Davis Cup final place in style by completing an emphatic 5-0 victory over Argentina in their semi-final here on Sunday.

Leading 4-0 after Gilles Simon's 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (6/8), 6-3 defeat of Eduardo Schwank earlier in the day, France secured the whitewash when Arnaud Clement beat Horacio Zeballos 7-5, 6-1 in the final singles rubber.

It was France's second straight 5-0 win in the competition, following a quarter-final demolition of defending champions Spain.

They also defeated Germany 4-1 in the first round.

France will face either Serbia or the Czech Republic, who meet in Belgrade this weekend, in the Davis Cup final on December 3-5.

Sunday's two singles matches were rendered dead rubbers by the straight sets victory of Clement and Michael Llodra against Schwank and Zeballos in Saturday's doubles match, which gave France an unassailable 3-0 lead.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Aleksandar Kolarov after the Lazio left-back passed his medical.
The 24-year-old Serbia international had already been granted a work permit and underwent a physical examination in Manchester today.
Kolarov will not, however, be joining the club's pre-season tour of America.
Kolarov's arrival puts Wayne Bridge's place in doubt and the England international has already been linked with a move to Liverpool, who are currently without a first-team left-back.
However, manager Roberto Mancini said the defender's imminent arrival did not mean the end of Bridge's career at Eastlands.
I want two top-class players for each position, said the Italian.
I first saw Kolarov in his Lazio debut back in 2007. I have watched him a lot since then and so have the Manchester City scouts.
His attacking capability is very good. He is fast and can shoot with power and accuracy.
