DC Final fertilizers
At least, that’s what Google Translation is calling what, I assume to be, tickets from this post on Facebook:
The Royal Spanish Tennis Federation has begun the process of selling season tickets for the final of the World Group Davis Cup final to face Spain and the Czech Republic at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on 4 to 6 December.
Until November 9, the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation is now selling, with a 10% discount, and through its Regional Federations, a total of 4825 season tickets for the three days of the final. On the 9th also ended the period
FB – 2004 DC doubles
While people may mainly remember Rafa’s win against Roddick from the 2004 Davis Cup competition, that wasn’t his first DC tie. He played in every round that year – playing doubles in all but the finals. Here are some highlights from the semi finals against France that took place in Alicante, Spain. He and Tommy Robredo teamed up and took on Clement and Llodra and won 7-6(7-4) 4-6 6-2 2-6 6-3. Rafa appeared to be suffering from some nerves at first as he wasn’t getting a single return in. He settled though. Boy, did he settle.

As the Spanish Davis Cup squad takes on the German team today, let’s take a look back at an old DC match – the one that, for many people, put Rafa on the tennis map: his defeat of Roddick in the 2004 DC finals.

That last video cut off the celebration and it’s not right to deprive the world of happy bouncing Spanish boys, so…
Everything possible
An article at Marca.com talking about Rafa not playing in the Spain/Germany tie in Marbella. (Google translation)
“Nadal has done everything in their power to play the round and we spent time talking to him until the last minute. He has made every effort and asked us to wait until the last minute to see if it recovers but ultimately was not the case, although I know that was totally committed to the Davis Cup, “espeto.
However, Escañuela recalls
No Davis Cup
According to this article, Rafa will not play in the upcoming Davis Cup tie Marbella.
It has been confirmed that the tendonitis in his knees will stop him appearing against Germany next month.
Or to not Davis Cup…
RC sent in a “To Not Davis Cup” article:
His doctor, Ángel Ruiz Cotorro, is not very optimistic that Nadal will be recovered for the July dates. He stated that it would take two to three weeks before the tennis ace can contemplate returning to competitions. With the Davis Cup quarter finals just two weeks away time appears to be against Nadal.
Davis Cup?
Here is the Spanish translation provided by vamosrafelnadal who posted this video.
Renuncio a Queen’s, se ha perdido Wimbledon, pero todo llega, Rafa se plantea jugar los cuartos de final de la eliminatoria de Copa Davis contra Alemania de aqui a 2 semanas. Nadal sigue con el tratamiento, entrena todavia de manera suave y se pasa horas y horas en el gimnas y en la piscina haciendo ejercicios de recuperacion. Si todo va bien y las rodillas responden quiere estar en Marbella para jugar contra Alemania
