Rafael Nadal admitted he hopes not to meet Novak Djokovic in Davis Cup tie for it would mean they have clinched the triumph.

The fact that Nadal and Djokovic be the leaders of their respective teams will make the clash between them be delayed until Sunday; still, the tie might be already finished by that time.

"I hope not to meet him for it would mean we won the series 3-0; yet, I think it won't be like this, and we'll be there on Sunday," Nadal remarked.

Real Madrid Match

26th of February

On his way out of the ‘Santiago Bernabéu’ Stadium right after watching his favourite team play against Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Rafa Nadal gave a small interview to the ‘Canal Plus’ channel in regards to his experience at the match.

Unfortunately, “the result wasn’t what the team wanted, however, they have to keep being positive”, said the world number 1 after watching his beloved Real Madrid lose 0-1.

“In their next match they have to go out there and believe in victory. They have to go to Liverpool with their hearts full”.

“I’m simply one more fan, but I have to say that I saw them playing often from the back, it was real hard for them to come forward. It’s a pity that with the one chance (Liverpool) had, they scored”, completed the champion.

Davis Cup Training Begins

26th of February

Rafa Nadal is back home in Mallorca after spending yesterday afternoon watching the quarterfinals of the ‘Champions League’ match between Liverpool and his beloved Real Madrid at the ‘Santiago Bernabéu’ Stadium.

Sadly for Rafa, “the result wasn’t what the team wanted, however, they have to keep being positive”, “In their next match they have to go out there and believe in victory. They have to go to Liverpool with their hearts full”, said the world number 1 after Real’s 0-1 loss.

Rafa is also back training after spending a few days resting and relaxing from all the hard work he put into his last two tournaments in Rotterdam and the Australian Open.

In the video (above), you can watch Rafa train in the company of uncle Toni and his physiotherapist Rafa Maymo, who is also watching over the world’s best tennis player. Together, they have started their preparation for the Davis Cup tie between Spain and Serbia, which starts next Friday 6th of March.

Rafa is scheduled to travel to Beridom with the rest of the ‘National Spanish Federation Team’ this Saturday, which is when the organizers of the tournament are expecting to have the courts finished and ready for the defending Davis Cup champions.

"It will be a very difficult tie, we have to respect everyone and have into account that they are great players. We will have to make a huge effort to win”, said the new Spanish Davis Cup captain Albert Costa yesterday.
