The respective Davis Cup teams are:
Argentina - David Nalbandian, Juan Martin Del Potro, Agustin Calleri, Jose Acasuso
Spain - David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez, Fernando Verdasco, Marcel Granollers
Just in case you didn't know the importance of the occasion, here are some quotes from David about the upcoming tie:
(Thanks to Julia - I got the translated article from your blog)
"These five rubbers are the most important in the history of Argentine tennis"
"It's the big goal of the year and I have no doubt that the expectations are very big, we've raised them ourselves, over the years. Half the people didn't know what the Davis Cup was and we were trying to bring, to push tennis further on and we have brought it to highest levels of popularity since ten years ago when the age of Vilas ended. People get more involved, I agree with you and to be part of this atmosphere is spectacular. At Buenos Aires, we always make the most of the Davis Cup weeks there and here, because it's a final even more so. I think the whole political dimension behind it all makes it a much bigger occasion. We mustn't forget we're representing the flag and it's the same as with some artist, or whatever who defends the Argentine colours for us."
"Apart from the opponent, this is a final, everybody will want to give their best and we must be vigilant and not feel too secure, because this is a singular and historic opportunity. I don't know if we will get to play another Davis Cup final at home. We have to be as vigilant as possible in order to seize this opportunity."
I hope that David gets to fulfill his dream.
