Rafael Nadal, Feliciano Lopez, Pablo Carreno-Busta and Roberto Bautista Agut are about to commence the ATP Cup as one of he favorite team. They have recently won the Davis Cup in Madrid and they want to give more glory to their nation.
Rafa & C. will commence their run in Perth where they were invited to enjoy the local surrounding. They had great fun at the Rottnest island, where they went for a swim before taking the ritual pictures and make their fans happy.
Team Spain will play its first tie against Georgia. Rafael Nadal will be opposed to Nikoloz Basilashvili, while Roberto Bautista Agut will take on Aleksandre Metreveli. Needless to say, team Spain is the overwhelming favorite to win this tie. The other 2 teams of the group are Japan (without an injured Nishikori) and Uruguay.
