Q. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about Davis Cup, then these guys can start. How do you rate the Spanish team?

MICHAEL LLODRA: Is going to be tough to beat them, you know. They are playing good on clay, especially on clay. So it's going to be tough for us. We're not some clay court specialists, so, yeah, I think it's 80-20. So we'll see.

Q. Are you expecting to play?

MICHAEL LLODRA: No, I don't know. I have no answer from Guy, so we'll see in the next few days if I play or not, or if I'm on the team or not.

MICHAEL LLODRA: No, no, I don't think so, no. They play very good, so we lost in two sets. We'll see if Lopez and Verdasco is gonna play against us, or against the French team. So there are lot of player in Spain who can play the doubles. So I don't know, they have to choose.

Q. Would you rate them, Lopez and Verdasco, higher than Nadal and Robredo, for example?

MICHAEL LLODRA: No, I don't care. First, I have to be on the team and second, I have to play the doubles. So we'll see.
