The Spaniard drew on his epic skills to save a match point against Korda and reach his first quarterfinals in a Masters 1000 event.
David Ferrer
Back in 2011, after winning in Paris, London, and New York, Rafa Nadal lands in Melbourne with a unique opportunity. Until a good friend snatched it away.
We analyze a short list of names that could fit perfectly into the team led by Samu López, some of them with experience at the highest level.
We had an exclusive chat with Jaume about his plans for the 2026 Davis Cup tie where Spain will travel to Chile in September. Munar's message to David Ferrer is clear.
David Ferrer confessed in an interview with the SER network about his first experience with Carlos Alcaraz. It happened in Jávea during preseason when Ferrero persuaded him to hit with the young player, who was only 14 years old: "We started training, and I put pressure on him. He handled the first shot, the second one as well, but on the third one, he accelerated. It blew my mind because he was like Nadal. He was 14, and we played a super tiebreak, I won 10-8, but I think he let me win out of respect. I swear he was close to beating me. He's like Nadal but with a different background. He's a tennis genius and a great person."

After the end of the professional relationship between the Murcian tennis player and the Valencian coach, we remember other tennis separations that surprised the tennis world.
Ferrer showed great pride in his team and expressed his full confidence in this group for future Davis Cups. "This is sports, and it's about accepting it; nothing happens."
Spanish Davis Cup captain, David Ferrer, spoke to Movistar+ microphones after losing in the final against Italy, showing positivity within the circumstances: "I am happy because the team has given it their all, we were close and it came down to small details, but this is sports and we have to accept it. Nevertheless, it has been a good week. If you value everything they have achieved, it has been a very positive week. I am very happy and proud of them, and next year we will try again and have another opportunity."
"Ultimately, the Italians won because they deserved it and fought for it, not because we handed it to them. That's tennis. They played at home, and we knew it was going to be tough. Both Pablo and Jaume, whose match was a pity, played a great game and gave their all," concluded the Spanish captain.
"I am happy. We were close, and the team gave it their all... It came down to small details. Next year we will try again."

Despite the defeat against Italy, David will return home with the peace of mind of having remained faithful to his values with a delicate decision before the Finals.
Ferrer, Granollers, and Pedro Martínez showed restrained joy in the press conference before the final, praising the merit of a group that is one step away from a new Davis Cup.
