ATP > Paul McNamee: “Nadal would not have lost this match on clay. Can someone explain to me why the Davis Cup final, organized and financed by Spain, was played on a clay court hard ?”

After the failed farewell of Rafael Nadal, beaten by Botic Van De Zandschulp for the last match of his immense career, and the early elimination of Spain in the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup, the former world number 1 in doubles and 24^e in singles, Paul McNamee, raised an interesting question on his Twitter account.

For the Australian, the organizers missed their mark by not choosing a clay court to honor in the best possible way the man nicknamed the king of clay.

“Can someone explain to me why the Davis Cup final, organized and financed by Spain, was played on a hard court? My God, Nadal wouldn’t have lost this match on clay… this surface became the ultimate spoilsport. »
