Nadal: "If I don't feel ready, I'm the first not to want to play".
Although Rafael Nadal will be retiring at the end of this Davis Cup, there is still some doubt as to whether he will take part. The Spaniard doesn't want to play if he doesn't think he's the best choice for his team: "We'll have to see how I feel these days in training.
If I don't feel ready, I'm the first not to want to play. I told them not to make a decision based on the fact that this is my last week as a professional tennis player.
I spoke to David (Ferrer) and he said he was counting on me. I think I've managed to prepare myself more or less well, and that's why I'm here. After that, we'll take it day by day.
What I'd like is for the team to work well and have the chance to win another Davis Cup, whether by playing or cheering from the stands."
The Spanish team will play its quarter-final against the Netherlands this Tuesday.
