Argentina-based David Nalbandian says that Davis Cup has a very special meaning for him.

“I enjoy playing at Davis Cup. I always say that it's something totally different, and it motivates me a lot more.” Nalbandian's official fan blog quoted the player as saying.

On the first day of Davis Cup 1/4 final, Nalbandian will face off against Marin Cilic, who plays in Croatia’s team.

“Marin Cilic is a tough opponent. We know the potential he has and how well he plays. I have to be wary, try to take advantage of every opportunity I get and be ready to fight,” the player said.

Argentina vs. Croatia match is due April 6-8, in Buenos Aires. Juan Martín del Potro will rival Ivo Karlovic on the first day.
