Right, General.  Nadal is in Majorca recuperating from his battles and multiple injuries at the AO, and is preparing to go to Buenos Aires.

David Ferrer is in Javea, Alicante, Spain near his tennis school resting and preparing for Rio I suppose.  I don't see him listed in any other tournaments prior to that.

I looked around for Spain's "B" team of Robredo and Almagro.  They are already in Vino del Mar in Chile.   They are the 2nd and 3rd seeds.
Royal Guard Open - Vino del Mar Draw

Fabio Fognini is the #1 seed in Vino del Mar.  But right now he is playing his heart out for Italy against Argentina.  He won his singles match against Juan Monaco, and helped win the key doubles match with S. Bolelli.  He has a chance to seal the win for his country today.  The next rubber is Fognini vs. Berlocq the Warlock.  After today's matches Fognini is expected to make the trip from Argentina to Chile for the Royal Guard Open.

Spain's 'C' team of Feli Lopez, Fernando Verdasco, Roberto Bautista and David Marrero, fought well, but were not good enough to beat the German 'A' team. 

I expect Ferrer and/or Nadal will play in the fall relegation tie to make sure Spain is back in the World Group for next year.

Respectfully,
masterclass

nole is another one who should have played. these opportunities don't come often.


he lost early at Melbourne. he also skipped the warm-up events like Doha and Brisbane.


I don't buy that he was mentally physically exhausted. not nole. he happens to be the fittest tennis player on the planet.

both nole and ferru did not really have good enough reasons to skip a chance to represent their countries.



now with that being said, what kind of changes would you recommend for davis cup?

Andy gets the first break but it's so early not sure if he'll be able to keep it until the end of this set.

Andy takes the 3rd 6-1. US 2 sets to 1 down and yet no loss of enthusiasm. lol but good for them.
