After a disappointing Laver Cup withdrawal, the Mallorcan legend will play in Malaga. His inclusion has pleased Spain\u2019s Davis Cup captain, David Ferrer. As Ferrer delves deeper into his feelings about sharing the team with his old pal, he brings special hope for the former ATP number one. Following Ferrer\u2019s statement, the fraternity is left with a great question: Will Rafael Nadal keep up with Ferrer\u2019s expectations in the tournament?<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ferrer had an interesting hope for Rafael Nadal in the Davis Cup finals. This former player and Spain\u2019s captain for the tournament is already pleased with the team\u2019s performance, which includes three wins and three ties. However, he thought the Mallorcan\u2019s addition would add more glory to the team, boosting their confidence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>Hoping for Nadal\u2019s participation, Ferrer said previously, \u201cI have spoken to Rafa (Nadal), but I don\u2019t know yet; why not? There is a possibility that he could be with us in November. I knew that Rafa\u2019s objective this summer was the Olympic Games, then he had holidays.\u201d Now that Nadal\u2019s participation is confirmed, Ferrer hopes something big for the former ATP number one.<\/p>\n<p>The Davis Cup captain for Spain hoped that Nadal would play singles in the tournament final with participation in a preparatory event. \u201cWhen the draw came out, I sent him a message and told him to prepare to play against Botic Van de Zandschulp. His answer was clear: \u2018I will be ready,\u2019\u201d Ferrer confirmed. Before participating with the team, Ferrer expected the Mallorcan to play in another event before. He assured having a talk with Nadal in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1842601318281515288&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fusatrendnow.com%2F2024%2F10%2F07%2Fafter-confidently-teasing-rafael-nadals-davis-cup-comeback-david-ferrer-shares-delightful-update-for-tennis-fans%2F&amp;sessionId=6e94090576fb3f1be045594ad28850c33f4273ab&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1842601318281515288\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Ferrer added more hope to Nadal\u2019s inclusion. He explained how he thinks Nadal is doing well to participate in the Davis Cup in peak form. \u201cAs a friend, I don\u2019t say it as a captain; I think it\u2019s good that he wasn\u2019t here in Valencia; I think it wasn\u2019t his turn to be here because he needed those days of rest and to be with his family. From here, what he decides about being in Malaga or not will be a subject that I will discuss with him later. The important thing is that he is well; if they arrive in good condition, I\u2019m sure he is a player we can count on.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ferrer\u2019s statement helped to understand how much Spain, the six-time winner and four-time runner-up, is excited to have Nadal back in their roaster. Previously, Nadal withdrew from the Laver Cup. While the decision made his supporters anxious about injury issues, Nadal cleared the air. He simply addressed how his form wasn\u2019t appropriate for helping Team Europe win the trophy. However, Ferrer seemed very hopeful about his participation in the Malaga Final 8.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p>David Ferrer believes Rafa \u201cwill give his 100%\u201d<br \/>\nIn an interview with the YouTube channel Sala de Jugadores, Ferrer had a detailed discussion of his feelings on Nadal\u2019s inclusion in the national team for the 2024 Davis Cup. He started hailing the Mallorcan as \u201can honest person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Praising Rafa, he further said, \u201cIf he steps on the court, he will give his 100%. I\u2019m aware of his competitive capabilities; the issue he is facing is that physically he can\u2019t sustain the level for long periods, but in a single match, he can be unbeatable. You can never count out a player like him. The fact that he is so thrilled to be with the team, as he was the one who called me before the qualifying phase, makes me see that it\u2019s perfect to have him with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rafa might not be in his peak form, but Ferrer believes otherwise. He still thinks the legend is unbeatable in singles matches, for which he is an essential addition to the team. However, Ferrer wishes to see Nadal in competitive events before the Davis Cup, and he revealed having a talk with Carlos Moya for preparation.<\/p>\n<p>David Ferrer\u2019s expectation with Rafael Nadal brings hope to Nadal\u2019s supporters about their favorite player. Given Nadal has taken a rest, he might truly return to the 2024 Davis Cup with his full glory. Do you think it will be worthwhile to see the Mallorcan legend perform for Spain again?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael Nadal is back on the court!
