Argentina’s David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank thrashed Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco in doubles to bring the team the only point at Davis Cup final.

"We must be happy and proud with what we did, each of us - the players, the technical team, everybody,” Nalbandian said.

"We knew what Spain was, and it has been proven that Spain as a local team is really difficult to beat," he added.

"Sometimes things don't come out okay, but we are proud and happy with our work here to try and win. Sometimes, unfortunately, the opponent is better and that's the way it is," Reuters quoted the player as saying.
