Team Spain

Team Spain faced host country Argentina in this years Davis Cup Finals, winning the said event for the third time with the absence of world number one Rafael Nadal due to injury. The defeat was Argentina's first lost at home in ten years in its Davis Cup history.

Spain's victory was sealed with the win of Fernando Verdasco over Jose Acasuso. Verdasco won in five sets (6-3 6-7 4-6 6-3 6-1) to give them an unassailable 3-1 lead over Argentina in the final.

Days before the finals Spain's team captain Emilio Sanchez Vicario clearly reiterated that he doesn't want Rafa on the sidelines during the finals. Sanchez Vicario thinks that Nadals presence would be an added pressure to his team mates besides the fact that they are facing the host country's team. The team captain's strategy might have worked, keeping Rafa off the audience made Spaniards concentrate more thus giving them the cup.
