Spain’s chances would be better without these two!

Alberto Costa, the Spanish Davis Cup team captain, should be worried about his two top players. The ATP tour finals are over for Nadal and Verdasco, the two worst players in the tournament, and they are both headed home to represent their country in the Davis Cup against the well rested Czech team.

Nadal was the only player in London who never won a set, and Verdasco lost all three of his matches. It is possible that both players are injured, but even if they are healthy Costa would be smart to consider choosing two fresh players from the wealth of talent that Spain has available.

Ferrer, Robredo, Ferrero, Almegro, Montanes and Lopez are all available, and all capable of representing their country against the underdog Czech team. On clay when he is in form Rafa is almost unbeatable, but he is not in form, nor has he played on clay since the Madrid Open(which he lost to Federer). Verdasco is ready for surgery, and should be sidelined.

For the sake of the team both Nadal and Verdasco should withdraw voluntarily from the Davis Cup final, and not put Costa in unenviable position.
