David Hopes that Chucho Gives them a Hand
The final of the Davis must not be given up for lost, but Argentina losing in doubles has left it between the rock and a hard place: Spain is 2-1 over and there are two points to be played. This is why the "King" hopes that José "Chucho" Acasuso gives the team a hand by beating Fernando Verdasco and giving the chance of playing the fifth point. The match between Acasuso and Verdasco won’t be easy; they will both do their utmost. But it is the national team’s only chance. If Chucho wins, the opponent of the man from Unquillo will be Feliciano López, whose performance was great against Juan Del Potro on the first day. They have both been the best of the series and have played both points (singles and doubles). Argentina’s hopes are now in Acasuso´s hands.
