It has been long time since Rafael Nadal played for his Davis Cup Team (2 years). The King of Clay is preparing the tie against Denmark after he enjoyed a nice 3 days break in Cannes.
Nadal: It is always difficult when you do not play at home
Rafa is till weary about their opposition to comment “It is always difficult when you don’t play at home. Denmark has a competitive team, we know the Danish tennis players and so we have to get used to the playing conditions to reach our normal level, and be ready for the challenge.
It’s great to be here in Denmark. I haven’t been here for 10 years. It was nice to test the courts. “
Spain is the overwhelming favorite as they have in the line-up Nadal, Ferrer, Bautista-Agut and Verdasco while Denmark has world no.283 Nielsen, Torpegaard (no. 909) and Olesen (no.963).
Rafa may say that they have a competitive team, but…sorry… we do not see it.
