“Rafael lost to Botik van de Zandshulp at the start of the match between the Netherlands and Spain”, — write: sport.ua
The meeting ended with Botik’s victory with a score of 6:4, 6:4 in 1 hour and 54 minutes.
After the match, Nadal said:
“I feel like this was my last professional singles match. I lost my first and last Davis Cup singles match.
If we win and make it to the semi-finals, the easier way would probably be to pick Roberto Bautista Aguta to play in my place. But this is not my decision.”
Spain loses to the Netherlands 0:1 in the 1/4 finals. Carlos Alcaraz plays with Tallon Greecespor. If Carlitos wins, the fate of the confrontation will be decided in a doubles match. If Alcaraz loses, Spain is out of the tournament and Rafa is 100% out of singles and doubles matches.
