Fernando Verdasco clinches epic Davis Cup win for Spain - "The dream comes true"

Ever since Fernando Verdasco was a young boy, when he could barely see over the top of the net, he had dreamed about winning the Davis Cup for Spain. And the 25-year-old Madrileno realised that dream at the Estadio Islas Malvinas today, beating Argentina's Jose Acasuso in five sets to give Spain the point they needed to complete their first Davis Cup triumph away from home. This was "the most beautiful day" of Verdasco's life.

It was Feliciano Loez who got Spain's challenge going when he defeated Juan Martin del Potro, Argentina's leading singles player, during Friday's singles. And Lopez and Verdasco then combined in the Saturday doubles to beat David Nalbandian and Agustin Calleri, before Verdasco came from two sets to one down for his victory over Acasuso. And so Spain won the Davis Cup for the third time.

Tecnifibre congratulates Fernando Verdasco. Amazing victory for a great player. Tecnifibre is proud to have Fernando in the Pro Team.

Fernando Verdasco: "The most important is to claim Davis Cup title"

Tecnifibre player Fernando Verdasco (on the left) talks about the Davis Cup final and the possibility for him to play singles.

"In one hand I would like Rafa could play because in the difficult moments he is the best, but when you have no choice, you have to go to fight on the court. You, or another partner. If it's me, I'll be happy because I'm here for Spain and available for the team. Not playing could be a disappointment. For sure, it would be difficult to not play a Davis Cup final. When I was a child, I have always been dreaming about that. All players won't play singles or doubles but we have to think about the best combination for the team. And the most important thing is to win and bring the Davis Cup back in Spain."

Crazy about Tennis, crazy about Service

Hello TF fans, in this small report, I wanted to tell you the story of a shop owner I met in Belgium few days ago. His shop, Cordage Express from AYENEUX, in Liege area (South East of Belgium) is open almost 24h/ day and about 7days/week.

If you need to get some rackets strung at midnight, I think you can try that address. Michael Llodra did it last year during the Belgium Interclubs...Bravo à Cordage Express, Bravo for your engagement for Service and for Tennis, because we all want to ADD PASSION TO OUR GAME !

Tecnifibre helps Africa to develop tennis

Tecnifibre sent a lot of rackets to countries of west and central Africa few weeks ago. Theses rackets come from our french coaches under contract with the brand who just received their new rackets for the season 2009.

We prefer to give these rackets to people who need it than throw them. This is really important for Tecnifibre to help federations which have lot of difficulties to find good tennis equipment. Lot of talented players can now improve their level with good rackets. Tecnifibre will continue to help them as much as it's possible in the future.
