Despite this condition favorites, Ferrer said he would not be trusted because Argentina also has top players capable of beating any opponent. In particular, said Juan Martin del Potro, "who can win every game," as David Nalbandian, "that when motivated is spectacular." So the key to Ferrer in the final can be "in the doubles match," which can be "that upsets the balance."

It also highlighted the positive mood in the Spanish team, which makes "everybody wants to come.
