Nadal, Verdasco to lead Spain for Davis Cup final
0 Comments
World No. 2 Rafael Nadal and No. 8 Fernando Verdasco will lead the Spainish side for next month's Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic, said captain Albert Costa on Monday.
Costa also called up David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez in the four-man team for the Dec. 4-6 tie on clay surface in Barcelona.
Nadal has not played for his country since the first round tie to Serbia in March. The injured clay-court king missed both the quarterfinal against Germany in July and September's semifinal clash against Israel.
Verdasco, who has returned to clinch a place at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals at the end of this month, was also sidelined for the Israel tie.
A victory of the final will mark the fourth Davis Cup trophy for Spain in ten years.
