THE MODERATOR: We'll start with questions for Team Argentina.

Q. Obviously an incredibly exhausting and emotional night. Are you able to tell us your feelings and how long could it take to get over a result like that?

CAPTAIN JAVIER FRANA: Always in a way is, of course, tough for us to end up like that when we're so close.

But anyway, I think we feel very proud of ourself. We fight until the end. Sometimes in sports you get to your side, sometimes you get to the other side. We did it everything very well before the tie. We don't have anything to regrets about our performance. We give it all. Sport is like that. Tennis is like that.

Sometimes just few inches you make the difference. We accept it. It hurts, of course. Our spirits, now it's a little bit shaky, but it's going to be very soon from tomorrow again.

Q. You said you don't have anything to regret. You had three match points. One in particular that maybe when you were at your serve, which probably was the one was the best chance for you. Do you agree with that?

CAPTAIN JAVIER FRANA: Always when you lose a match, there's something that it couldn't be to the other side or should I...

I mean, it's part of the sport. I mean, even sometimes you win a point not playing great, not making the great decision. Sometimes you do everything okay, and it happens. I think you start seeing those little details, it helps to grow, but not to punish ourself. I mean, we are far away of punishing ourself for anything because when you make a decision, there's always a chance of it could be right or not.

I mean, what I'm saying, we have nothing to regrets, because we gave it all. We played. When you make a decision, sometime it happen like that, yeah.

Q. There were also the four points in the tiebreak made by Zverev in the second set. Do you remember those?

CAPTAIN JAVIER FRANA: Yes, of course, because actually we just talking about that. He was playing unbelievable four points. Sometimes even just one long one ended up on their side.

The tiebreak for us, it wouldn't make a lot of changes. Going to the third set, with Francisco raising and getting confidence on the game, it wouldn't be...

Anyway, it was the way it was. I'm feel so proud of not only the doubles players, our team, coaches. We all together. We all pushed to the same direction.

Of course one of the goals is always the results, to go further. Our goal was be united, Argentina tennis, push to the same side. Different way of seeing things, but we achieve a lot of things. Through all the year we wanted other things.
