"I don't want to waste any more time lamenting those who are not here," says Ferrer on Alcaraz's absence
With the successive withdrawals of Alcaraz, Davidovich Fokina, and Granollers, the Spanish team will have to make do without two major singles players and a doubles specialist to face Denmark (September 13).
This situation was commented on by the current team captain, David Ferrer, in an interview relayed by Punto de Break:
"We accept it; these are things that can happen. Nothing more. I don't want to waste any more time lamenting those who could be here and those who are not. I trust my team: they have all made their Davis Cup debuts, and whether you like it or not, that is an advantage when it comes to a new encounter.
Jaume and Roberto made their debuts against Switzerland, and I know they will give their best. That reassures me, beyond victory or defeat, because I know they will be able to compete."
Thus, Spain will be composed of Jaume Munar, Pedro Martinez, Roberto Carballes Baena, and Pablo Carreño Busta.
