The Spanish coaches have also invited Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco to be at the final as backup players. Also, Guillermo García, JC's practice partner, may serve as a "sparring" partner for the team to help them prepare for the final.
The coaches said that they're very confident in their team. They don't want to underestimate their oppenent, but, "We are the favorties, we've proved it in the last 11 ties."
For Jordi Arrese, it doesn't matter who the rivals are because he thinks Spain has the best team to play on clay. "The most important thing is that our players be at their highest level, because we are the best on clay and, with all due respect, we shouldn't worry in least who will come [play against us]."
