Marc! not playing? Eeeps. His name is on the live score though.
I read it on yesterday’s news: http://ibnlive.in.com/news/davis-cup-spain-win-us-tied-with-france/246518-5-22.html
If his name shows up then he must have recovered. Vamos! Work your magic and win this one for Spain!
Marc! playing, him & Marcel took the 1st set :)
Marc! is playing really well. Marcel less so. Amazing that it’s Marc! who’s playing through injury!
Nadal will not even play? :(
Rafa had to rest this week following a treatment for his knee.
Grats to La Armada! Ferru def Melzer today in 3 sets so Spain is through to the semifinal. They will play the USA in Spain.
Many congrats to the Spanish players, they played great.
