Ferrer on Nadal: "It's possible he'll be with us".

Spain qualified for the Davis Cup finals with aplomb.

Buoyed by a motivated Alcaraz and an indefatigable Bautista Agut, the Spaniards will be in action in Malaga in November.

Interviewed at the press conference, David Ferrer, captain of the Spanish team, made no secret of his satisfaction.

Asked about Rafael Nadal's possible presence in Malaga, the former world number 3 declared: "I've spoken to Rafa, but I don't know yet, why not?

It's possible that he'll be with us in November. I knew that Rafa's objective this summer was the Olympic Games, but then he took a vacation.

As a friend, and I'm not saying this as a captain, I think it's a good thing he didn't come here to Valencia, he needed those days off and to be with his family.

From now on, what he decides to do or not to do in Malaga will be a subject I'll talk to him about later.

The important thing is that he's well, and if he's in good condition, he's a player we can count on."
