Gaston Gaudio: Federer, Nadal are the best players ever
Argentina is grouped with Chile and Germany in the Davis Cup finals and in an interview, Argentine captain Gaston Gaudio said that players should feel proud while competing in the team event. "I want to count on the best guys and the ones who want to play for Argentine and represent their country. Being in the national team, in any sport, representing the Argentine bearer, our colours, is a proudness. In general, it was a good draw, but we will see how the first stage will be. You had a lot of buzz around this new format. Now we have to think ahead and play it and support the guys who are there and play this way. You have to win the Davis Cup without thinking about the past, playing all together and I think it can go great. We are willing to play and win. We enjoyed it, we have a great team and a great group, it was a good experience," said Gaudio about being the co-captain with Guillermo Coria. "But the (Argentine) Association decided that it was better than having just one captain..."
For Gaudio, it's about the present: "As a kid, there were (Stefan) Edberg, (Boris) Becker, (Yannick) Noah, then (Pete) Sampras and (Andre) Agassi came, then (Roger) Federer, (Rafael) Nadal and (Novak) Djokovic. This is life. You have to enjoy every year with the newcomers, the ones who are there, and with the best in history who for me, are Nadal and Federer although Djokovic could also join it."
Argentina will not probably count on Juan Martin del Potro who recently said his Davis Cup career has ended.
