THE MOST LIKELY THING TO HAPPEN IS THAT NONE OF THEM­ WILL PLAY, SO WHO CARES?

Perhaps it would be smarter for Nadal to become a pure­ claycourt player. He can pick up enough points from­ claycourt tournaments to stay at #2 and probably win­ the French 3 more times to beat Borg's record.

I would be more suspicious if Nadal isn't the main­ worry as it concerns the first Davis cup round. Should­ he not recover fully from his serious injuries until­ prior to the AO then I would be doubtful to see him­ playing non-important first round. He now has to face­ his biggest crisis of his career when due to ongoing­ health problems he is not capable of defeating top­ players. All his matches against top ranked aces have­ been disastrous beginning with Delpotro in Montreal­ ending with the same Delpotro in New York even in a­ worst way.

no.24 is another idiot who can't even know how to­ read as I explained why Spain plays at home in couple­ of posts below.Ridiculous.

Certainly every match between these two icons is a­ hell-of-a-show but on the other hand I wouldn't be­ surprised if they both withdraw from the first round­ which is not important to them. Furthemore, for Nadal­ the bad times are coming as for his health. Shortly­ after he got over the FO injury he got problems with­ his abdominal. We will be lucky to see him playing fit­ this year and I couldn't be too far from the truth­ if the guy pulled off the rest of the season. If his­ injuries are not healed until the last two masters and­ the London event he shouldn't dare to even go­ there. I really recommend him to stay off until AO next­ year.

Should be a great match but i dont see Roger gunning­ for that

the draw has to be fixed because every time i see davis­ cup matches spain are always at home{except final} i­ would love to take them off clay and see how rafa deals­ with federer on indoor hard courts

Jayceon Taylor
yes i am not perfect in english because­ it isn't my first language but i suspect that you­ can say one word in my language :) .i am so amazed to­ see you arguing with me about my spelling not tennis :)­ .
read again what you wrote not me and you will see­ that you are the one who ..... lost it .
you said­ Federer is afraid from Nadal as i can see in your­ comment .but if you see in my comment that i am­ agreeing with you from my bad english ,i'll be so­ sorry .if not so the problem in you not understanding­ english but "understanding "

Federer to quit playing after AO,, and that is a shame,­ cuz he is the best ever

That would be a hell of a matchup for a Davis Cup­ match! But it probably won't happen.

Jayceon,­ you're stupid. It's no joke, you really are.­ Roger 'The King' Federer pulling out for a­ beaten-up, injured Nadal? Are you fuc*ing kidding us?­ If anyone should be scared, it's Nadal. Yeah,­ it's not because the greatest player had a bad­ match in the US Open final that it will end the roll he­ was on. He's too good to let that happen.
Time­ after time, Roger has showed that he made better­ decisions than Nadal. Nadal exhausted the @#$% out of­ himself that it was obvious he was gonna get injured­ sooner or later. He decided to play very tournament he­ possibly could to try and show off and knock Roger off.­ Didn't work, did it? He got injured pretty bad and­ it took Roger 3 tournaments (a masters, 2 GSs) to get­ back his #1 crown. Roger has always managed to stay­ healthy and injury-free as much as he could. Another­ reason why he's the best player to have ever­ touched a tennis racket.

LONG LIVE KING ROGER.

Menno,it's got nothing to do with luck or being a­ champion.Ties are played depending on the last time­ those two countries are played against each other.The­ last time Spain and Switzerland played was in­ Swizterland,so this time,it will be in Spain.Simple as­ that.

more hate from the demented shoe bomber.

Fed playing a best-of-5 on clay against Nadal will be­ good preparation for the French.

Also, this will be­ the 4th consequetive time that Spain gets to play their­ match on home turf. Are they just incredibly lucky or­ is it the advantage of being the champion?

woww,it's really amazing how even this news can­ turn into a Rafa or Roger bashing thread!

well even though I wanna see Roger vs Rafa playing in­ Davis Cup,I don't wanna see Rafa play each and­ every tournament again and get injured.I hope he will­ select his tournaments wisely next year.

we all know whos withrawing from tournaments and­ running scared, these days.
pity jayceon taylor suffers­ from selective amnesia.

This result of this match will no doubt boil down to­ the surface.
