Also the former world No. 2 Alex Corretja praised Nadal: "I am the first to be surprised, I made an effort in tennis, I never imagined that they would award me for it. For me it's great that people of every age starts understanding tennis thank to me." On the Davis Cup the Spaniard added: "Everything happened. We had five players and knowing you can count on each of them anytime is very important for the captain Sergi Bruguera. It has been a strong week of tennis, Gerard Pique looked for it, two years ago he told me he wanted to change the Davis Cup and he managed to do it. Definitely the fact that it took place in Madrid and that Rafael Nadal was successfully helped."
