TENNIS 2008: SPAIN DEFEATS ARGENTINA FOR ITS 3ºRD DAVIS CUP

FERNANDO VERDASCO (below)substituted in the last moment his
teammate - & higher ranked player - David Ferrer to take the winning
tie against Argentine JOSE ACASUSO 6-3, 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 to give
SPAIN its 3ºrd DAVIS CUP. It was simply an amazing comeback from
the Spaniard after the Argentine was 2 - 1 ahead & just wore himself out
by attempting to halt the Spaniards attacks. Spain wins 1-3 the 2008
Davis Cup & without its Nº1 World Ranked player Rafael Nadal.













It was precisely the announcement that Rafael Nadal would not
play due to his knee injury that made Spain the "underdogs".
The Argentine´s were at home with crowd support & the Spaniards
were lower ranked. But the Spanish team effort to lift itself up after
losing the first tie, via Feliciano Lopez who won Del Potro in the 2ºnd
to equalizes,
& the vital doubles victory put Spain ahead psychologically
yesterday & put all the
pressure on Argentina.

Fernando Verdasco went out with that advantage & with excellent
tennis gave his country the victory & the Davis Cup. Here is the VIDEO
of the winning point:





















Historic win for this young & long term team (above), congratulations
to Argentina who were fabulous opponents.
