Spain vs Argentina kicks off in Seville tomorrow. Nadal vs Monaco to start the final. Spain really should win this at home and on clay!
Davis Cup Final
- Thread starter wr8_utd
- Start date
Nadal might be woefully off form on the indoor courts but he's an absolute beast on clay. 6-1 6-1 up vs Monaco and he's been in stunning form today.
Ferrer Del Po at 1 set all. If Ferrer can win this then the title is as good as won because Nadal will surely win his second match.
Damit Del Po 2 sets to 1 up. Ferrer was 3-1 up and ended up losing 6-3 
How do they decide who plays who in the Davis Cup wr8? Is it down to the respective nations, which player they pit against each other? Or is it random?
You can select a minimum of 3 and max of 4 (including a playing captain) or minimum of 4 and max of 5 (including a non playing captain) players 10 days before the draw.
You have to nominate two players to play the singles matches from both teams. The #1 ranked player of each team (according to ATP rankings) plays the #2 of the other team on the first day so there are 2 singles matches on the first day.
There is one doubles match sandwiched between the 2nd and 3rd singles matches. The 3rd and 4th singles matches are played between the #1's of both teams and #2's of both teams so basically all singles players play each other.
Today Nadal (#1) played Monaco (#2) and Ferrer (#2) is playing JMDP (#1).
PS : Ferrer vs JMDP in a crucial 5th set now.

Ferrer 5-1 up and serving for the match. The atmosphere is brilliant!
Nadal beats Del Po in 4 sets to win Spain the Davis Cup. It was a brilliant match! Have to feel sorry for Del Po who was unlucky with his two marathon matches (and defeats)
