Spain Will Try To
Overcome The Absence of Nadal In the Davis Cup Final
Spain
will overcome the absence of injured Rafael Nadal as the tennis
powerhouse aims for a sixth Davis Cup title in 13 years during the
weekend final in Prague against the Czech Republic. The nation need only
look to past history when the same kind of gap was overcome in a defeat
of Argentina in the 2008 final played in South America.
Berdych And
Almagro Are Not The Best Of Friends
The
ill-feeling that still exists between the Czech Republic’s Tomas Berdych
and Spain’s Nicolas Almagro, that stems back to January’s Australian
Open, adds an extra confrontational edge to the Davis Cup final that
starts tomorrow in Prague.
Spanish Academy
Severs Links With Armstrong’s Doctor
In
the wake of Lance Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France
titles and being publicly exposed as being a drugs cheat, the Spanish
TenisVal tennis academy has severed all links with the doctor who worked
with the US Postal Service cycling team.
Lendl To Be
Special Guest At Davis Cup Final In Prague
Former
great Ivan Lendl will be a special weekend guest for the Davis Cup final
as his former nation, the Czech Republic, bid to stop Spain on what
promises to be an ultra-fast indoor court in Prague.
