Spanish Team Upset with Davis Cup Location

by Erica on May 10th, 2008

You can’t please all the people all the time, and a lot of times, it seems like you can’t please hardly anyone any of the time. And right now, it’s the Spaniards who aren’t happy.

Spanish tennis officials chose Madrid as the site for the Davis Cup semifinal with the United States. Players - including Rafael Nadal - had said Madrid was one of the worst locations to choose since the Americans would be benefitted by the high altitude.

Madrid is Europe’s highest capital at 600 meters and will be better for Andy Roddick’s fast serves than the coastal cities. So naturally, the Spanish team is - for lack of a better term - pissed off.

Maybe it’s just me, but I kind of thought the Spanish tennis officials would want to favor their country’s team if at all possible. I know - obviously it’s just me.
