Spain wins Davis Cup in Mar del Plata


The tennis match Acasuso versus Verdasco was 4 hours long, and this one gave the victory to Spain. The match was exciting because when Verdasco got to be first on the scoreboard, he didn’t find a way to keep it, until the fourth set that he did. Sometimes when he did service he felt a bit nervous, because one more time spectators’ pressure over him was really hard, and he made double faults in several occasions, but finally he did a great job.

Yesterday spectator’s pressure was also strong during double tennis match. Argentinean people have a lot of passion for their players, so it is obviously when the grandstands are crowed the atmosphere will heat up, but it is unacceptable to offend. However, we don’t hit the ceiling, because in Spanish football there are also insults. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t justify violence.

I just want to make a comment for Robredo, Almagro and Nadal, because they are also winners like the rest of the team, who have travelled to Argentina, so congratulations guys!!

To sum up, this victory tastes so sweet, because I heard something like if Nadal didn’t come, it will not be necessary that Spanish team played. As the saying goes “por la boca muere el pez”. Sorry, I don’t know how to say it in English. In spite of that, Argentinean players made it difficult to win. But this time the Salad Bowl is all ours!!
