Oh my! I didn't know Spain was playing the Davis Cup this Friday! In Rome?! And not content to play against a single country in the course of a weekend, the "Armada Espa�ola" is taking on 5 different countries in one day! ;o)

Anyone reading this a tennis fan? If you're following the Rome Master's Tournament then look at this Friday's programme (the quarter-finals) and you'll see what I mean... Roma. Centre Court. 5 matches... ALL of them involve a Spaniard (or two since there's a doubles match). I just got the biggest smile on my face when I read this:
Verdasco vs Djokovic (Serbia)
Ferrer vs Tsonga (France)
Nadal vs Wawrinka (Switzerland)
Feliciano Lopez vs Gulbis (Latvia)
Almagro/Granollers vs the Bryan brothers (USA)
And now I feel like singing "qu� viva Espa�aaaaaaaaaa!!!" :p
Just missing Ferrero (who was in the crowd watching Nadal's match today) and my current Spanish favourites are all there! :o)
Who was it that said that Spain had enough good tennis players to field TWO Davis Cup teams? You betcha!!! :D
I figure Lopez and Verdasco will have the toughest time, but I really hope Verdasco beats Djokovic: 1. because I like Verdasco, and 2. because it will decrease the points difference between Nadal and Djokovic and bring Nadal that much closer (if he wins the title) to 2nd place in the ITF rankings! :o)
So fingers crossed for Spanish face-offs in the semi-finals and then the Final! With Nadal winning of course! ;o)
PS: if you're not a tennis fan then the Davis Cup is an international tennis tournament by national teams, Spain will next play France in the 1/4F first weekend of July.
