Tough elimination for Spain in the Davis Cup against Serbia by Novak Djokovic. It must be said that the Iberian selection had many absentees, first of all world number two Carlos Alcaraz but also others, like obviously Rafael Nadal.
Team captain David Ferrer does not look for excuses, it is not in his nature, and after the net 0-3 against Novak Djokovic’s Serbia, he gave his point of view on the the issue. The Spaniard explained: “The results are not positive, we lost all the matches.
However, I learned not to dramatize, I am proud of my team and I know the boys tried. Accepting defeat is part of sport, it’s time to learn things we could have done better, next year we will start with the preliminary phase and there is no other choice.
This moment hurts, especially for tennis players, I experienced it as a player and it always hurts to lose, even as a captain. Nothing will happen, tomorrow the sun will rise again.”

Ferrer then focused on the choices to be made: “Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing.
I did everything with the best intentions, but it must be said that we had a lot of absentees. Maybe I could have made some changes, but I don’t think it would have changed the outcome.
I also started against an opponent much higher ranked than me, so I understand how it feels. We tried to recover Bautista until the end, but it was not possible.
Throughout my career, there are many things that I would have changed, but this time, nothing could be done.” Ferrer is also optimistic: “The future is promising, we will recover important players.
However, I’m happy with the group I have, now the hardest thing is to face defeat and accept it. In the future, we will remember and smile about it.”
