INSURE THAT PLAY AS VISITOR IS ALWAYS A disadvantage

The world number one tennis, the Spanish Rafael Nadal, said that for the final of the Davis Cup, which will be held from next Friday in Mar del Plata, Argentina is a favorite, "although he warned that" Spain is very strong. " "Of course I feel sorry to miss the Davis, but I think the Spanish team is very strong and has great players who are going to try the impossible to win," Nadal said in an interview Internet portal granted to the Argentine infobae.com.

"We face with Argentina is always great, regardless of my involvement, because this is a great team with excellent players who are going to give everything," he added. According to the Spanish tennis player, playing as a visitor is always a disadvantage for any team. " "We know this, but I would not know to point a level of possibilities for Argentina or Spain. I know it is going to be durísimo and I'm sure it will be surface, and I, of course, not. " a spectacle, "he said.

When asked who is more dangerous on track lasts between Argentines David Nalbandian and Juan Martin del Potro, said that "both" in equal measure. "We all know how good it is David, especially in this part of the season to be played on tracks covered. But Del Potro is having its best moment and there was in playing the Shanghai Masters Cup," he added. However, he said that "nobody is unbeatable in any

At this rate does not play or two years, "Nadal told the physiotherapist that he served during the meeting of the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters before the Russian Davydenko in which he had to leave for an injury in his right leg.

An injury that will force him to miss the Masters Cup in Shanghai because it has decided not to attend the tournament teachers to be "recovered" and prepare "for the important event in Mar del Plata with my country."

Does While the players most relevant for the circuit as Nadal or Roger Federer himself by publicly protesting the huge number of tournaments to be played throughout the season and the short recovery time. A war that has confronted them with Etienne de Villiers, until now president of the ATP, and that, for now, has had a clear conclusion: Federer has been absent from the final tournament of the season, the Swiss and Spanish left in Paris and the current a number of the world will miss the event that brings together the eight best tennis circuit.

Thus, Nadal complains in the communique that offers its website: "I've said several times that the schedule of tennis this year has been very hard where practically every week is forcing players to compete not making it possible for an athlete of this elite to 100%. " However, the Balearic recognizes that his eagerness to reach number one it has subtracted something from Freshness: "Perhaps there are injured, especially at the end of the season, my physical condition."

Nadal acknowledges that it does not go to the Masters in Shanghai is "one of the hardest and most difficult decisions I ever made in my career because of the importance of the event and, especially, not to be with the fans." In addition, the champion of Roland Garros and Wimbledon did not recognize any medical evidence to have been made, although "I can say that I have taken the right decision."

A decision which is directly linked to the Davis Cup final to Spain to play Argentina on 21, 22 and Nov. 23 in Mar del Plata, as the manacorense wants to "be restored to prepare for an important appointment with my country" and that Piazza opened the tournament Chinese to French Gilles Simon, who at the Madrid Masters defeated the Spanish in the semifinals.

Rafa Nadal will be the recognition of ATP by its access to global leadership. A big deal and your audience

When a player rises to top of world rankings, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is celebrated. Was the fact that Rafa Nadal arrived at this post on August 18 last, and since then has only contested competitions run by the International Federation (the U.S. Open and the Davis Cup).

The ATP preferred to wait And it will have made almost two months to one of its tournaments as he deserves to pay homage to the tennis manacorí. And what better scenario that the Masters Series Madrid, where in October 2003 and held the number one Juan Carlos Ferrero-facing its biggest supporters.

On Sunday, Oct. 12, at 1330 hours and broadcast live by TVE, receive, in the center court of the Telefonica Madrid Arena, in the hands of the executive president of ATP, the South African Etienne De />
For his part, the organization of Madrid, at the mouth of its director, Manolo Santana, stressed that "we are delighted. A Rafa wants him in all countries, but especially here. "

The recognition will amenizado by a stunt show performed by actors from 'Dreams 2', a unique audiovisual show that reinvents the musical integrating it with extreme sports like wakeboarding, parkour, Krumpas indoor or trial and that will coincide with the start of the Villiers, who credited the trophy as world number one. "The conquest of Rafa's number one is the reward for a fantastic race in a year in the complex that has been ratified as a major player on all surfaces. It was a small feat to end the reign of Federer. Now the best player in the world and all amateur tennis players continue to expect that both measured in one of the strongest rivalries in world sport, "said De Villiers.

And added that Madrid is one more day of the tournament, with the dispute of four meetings of the table in that first final Sunday. "We want to take a holiday more to offer a better program and that more people can enjoy their favorite stars," said Santana after receiving approval from ATP to make the change.

And it is that everybody wants to see Nadal. The manacorí not before debutaría Tuesday, October 14 at eight o'clock in the afternoon (at night sitting) in the individual competition but could do so before the double, which on this occasion disputará with his friend Carlos Moya. Good sign of interest shown this year is that the tickets are sold out for semifinals and final as well as for meetings at night from Tuesday to Friday. The pace of sales has been of record.

Sam Querrey arrived in Madrid to cover the lower James Blake. And, as expected, the Californian offered more resistance to his fellow New Yorker tired. Supported by the memory of the nearby U.S. Open, where he also was able to snatch the first set to world number one, he raised the game like that then, tough on track, shamelessly to the attack, obtaining the maximum benefit from a service in Madrid , To more than 500 meters above sea level, it increases significantly speed.

Something only evident in the difficulties faced by Nadal to subtract during the first two lines, because the speedometer installed in Las Ventas did not work until the ninth game of the second part.

By then, the speed of Querrey, their ability to move in all directions and its easy adaptation to the sliding gravel-all these characteristics in an improper U.S. 1.98 m. - had reduced its harmful effect on the game of Nadal.

The Balearic Islands, renewed motivation for the occasion, still not provide the imposing image of destroyer hit during the middle of the course, between Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The power of his arm, speed and the boat of his ball does not punish the same way. Even so, looked the propitious moment, the initial doubts of his opponent, to launch their attack to regain control of a match uphill after the start of threatening Querrey.

Very comfortable with his service, the U.S. best result obtained in 2008 on a gravel track (quarter-finals at the Monte Carlo Masters Series), the duel turned into an exchange of blows, where their own, more planes, more deep, dominating a Nadal too far from the bottom line, a little aggressive, unable to add a single point of 'break' in the whole part.

And doubts grew after an unexpected error, a double fault in the tenth point of the game tiebreaker with serving tray at two points in September to its rival. Querrey took the second with his serve, so, of entry, giving life to the shutdown of the U.S. team. In Britain, those who are still at least Nadal increased their disbelief at seeing Querrey to break out of the Spanish just started the second race. Again stuck on the runway, taking advantage of short balls and half height Nadal, Querrey widened the distance.


"When I came back to get back into the match, and so did the audience," added defeated. And is that a set against not enough to worry to Nadal. "That is why we win so many games," Querrey analyzed. "No matter if you lose, it is very hard." The success of the U.S. with the lines disappeared, squandered its advantage and at the instant of the decisive set, with Nadal by subtracting the partial (5-4), chained six other errors by a single service winner.


The Mallorcan acleró step, he managed to get to the center of the track to his rival to take advantage of a double fault and a long right hand to finish a new 'break' with its setback crossfire. The aggressive response from Querrey gave him a point to recover the break. Too late. Nadal did not have brakes (4-1). Another double fault and a blow to the network In the ninth game of the fourth September helped Nadal to complete the work. It was the sign that resembled nothing Querrey in and the player's Home.
