Paul Annacone, former coach of Federer, spoke about how the Spaniard's greatest virtue has also ended up being his main and/or only flaw.
Copa Davis 2024
The Italian team will face Australia in the semis in a rematch of last year's final. Will there be any surprises in today's lineup by Volandri?
Of all the teams that appeared in the Davis Cup Finals 2024 in Malaga, possibly it was Netherlands the team that least inspired confidence among fans. Curiously, Spain's first-round opponent. Four days after the start of the competition, the tulips have become the first country to sneak into the grand final, first defeating the Armada and tonight Germany. The victories of Botic Van de Zandschulp against Altmaier (6-4, 6-7, 6-3) and Tallon Griekspoor against Struff (6-7, 7-5, 6-4) will see old Holland fight for the first time for the most prestigious and long-standing title on the circuit. On Sunday, in the final, Australia or Italy.

Wesley Koolhof will retire in 2024 after the Davis Cup being his last tournament as a professional. Similar to what happened a few days ago with Rafa Nadal, the organization wanted to pay tribute to the Dutchman for his great career with a small ceremony yesterday. Additionally, Koolhof could retire with the title, as the Netherlands just qualified to play the final next Sunday. During the recognition ceremony, Wesley thanked for the support and expressed his joy for not having to play the doubles against Germany.

But they are in the final, and that's why they are the surprise of the tournament. The Netherlands celebrated a historic feat in the Davis Cup, a title they will fight for on Sunday.
Nobody had him in mind for this 2024 Davis Cup finals, but Botic Van de Zandschulp has become the real protagonist these days in Malaga. It's impossible to point to another after becoming the latest opponent to defeat Rafa Nadal in his professional career. But the Dutchman didn't stop there, he also contributed to winning the decisive doubles, a boost that has helped him defeat Daniel Altmaier today in the semifinal against Germany. What's the key?
"I believe I played the hardest match of my entire life this Tuesday against Rafa Nadal, so anything that comes from now on might be a little easier," humorously revealed the world number 80, who remains undefeated in the competition and has put his country one step closer to the 2024 Davis Cup final. Right now, Jan Lennard Struff and Tallon Griekspoor are playing the second point of the series.

The first semifinal of the 2024 Davis Cup started with the exciting match between Botic Van de Zandschulp representing the Netherlands and Daniel Altmaier, doing the same for Germany. The player who defeated Rafa Nadal in the quarterfinals of the tournament displayed a high level in the first set, although his opponent made Germany dream by taking a tough second set where he even saved up to 5 match points. Altmaier eventually won after a tie-break in which a total of 24 points were played. Van de Zandschulp also struggled to close the match in the third set but finally prevailed with a 6-4 6(12)-7 6-3 victory, putting the Netherlands ahead in the tie (1-0) and one step closer to the final.
