Argentina-based David Nalbandian said he continued trainings two or three times a week to be able to begin the pre-season for next year.

“I'll do the pre-season in mid-December. Whether I'll go to Australia or not depends on the surface they choose for the Davis Cup. I also plan to play the tournaments in South America on clay,” Nalbandian’s official fan blog reported.

From December 6-9, the player will participate in Copa Peugeot 2012 tennis tournament in Buenos Aires.

“Germany will be a tough opponent. But we must all try and work towards having the best possible team in the Davis Cup. I will try hard to enter 2013 list of Top 50 best players. I can always get there if I get lucky in terms of injuries and don't get a tough draw at the big events,” Nalbandian said.
