Talk » well as Grade 1-placed Unbridled Expr

NEW DELHI --- As Indias Leander Paes and Saketh Myneni share court space at 7pm local time today, they will be up against the Rio Olympic gold medallists Marc Lopez and Rafael Nadal.A daunting task awaits India, trailing 0-2 in the World Group play-off tie, a win utterly essential for staying afloat. On the other hand, a victory for five-time champions Spain on Saturday will see them climb back to the elite group after dawdling in the zonal competition for two years now.The Spanish team has confirmed that Nadal and Marc will represent them in the doubles. Marc and Feliciano Lopez had become the first all-Spanish duo to win the doubles title at Roland Garros earlier this year and were earlier scheduled to take part in the doubles.On Friday, the Spanish team offered conflicting reasons for Nadals withdrawal, with Feliciano suggesting that the world No. 4 was playing through pain courtesy an injured left wrist, while David Ferrer and team captain Conchita Martinez squarely dismissed any such concerns, citing a stomach bug as the cause instead.Its likely that Feliciano will yet again take Nadals place in Sundays reverse singles. According to Davis Cup rules, team captains can change their nominations up to one hour before the start of play.Putting up a dispirited show, Myneni lost to David Ferrer in straight sets in the second singles on Friday. It was a bad day but we have to put this behind, Myneni said, I hope to help Paes in gaining back the momentum in the doubles. Hes such an experienced guy and a huge name. Myneni and Paes havent played together before.Aside from a win to keep Indias hopes alive, Paes also has a record to chase. A victory on Saturday will help him equal Italys Nicola Pietrangelis record for most doubles Davis Cup wins: 42. At this stage, I use records to motivate myself, Paes said.Indias recurring ill-fate at the World Group play-offs is now far from a surprise. They lost 2-3 to Serbia in 2014 and 1-3 to the Czech Republic last year -- to continue to remain in the Asia/Oceania competition.Air Max 95 Outlet Italia .
