Rafael Nadal has joined the rest of the country’s Davis Cup team in Bremen who are preparing for the quarter final games this weekend against Germany.

Spain is using two three hour training sessions, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. David Ferrer, Feliciano López and Fernando Verdasco make up the rest of the Spanish team, with Emilio Sánchez Vicario acting as captain.

He said that the team understood that the round was a complicated one, and that was why the team were preparing as best they can. David Ferrer noted that all the Spaniards were adapting to the court well which he described as fast ‘but correct’.
