Spain has already decided what its line-up will be to face the first tie of the group stage of the Davis Cup finals against Ecuador this Friday. And if this team is confirmed, Sergi Bruguera surprises with who will be the first player to open the tie.
Except for a capital surprise, Feliciano López will be in charge of opening the tie against the Ecuadorian number two, Roberto Quiroz. In this way, Bruguera relies on the experience of Toledo (40 years), who Despite occupying position 106 in the ATP individual ranking, he is one of the great Spanish legends of the Davis Cup, since he has participated in the Salad Bowls conquered in 2004, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2019. In this way, Feli will replace the loss of Carlos Alcaraz, who started as theoretical number two and who will not be able to play after testing positive for coronavirus.
There will be fewer surprises in the second game, where Pablo Carreño, Spanish number one, would face Emilio Gómez, leader of the Ecuadorian team and son of the 1990 Roland Garros champion, Andrés Gómez, who is in Madrid. There will be no surprises in the doubles match either, as Spain will play with the A pair made up of specialists Marcel Granollers and Feliciano López, who will double shift this Friday, against the Ecuadorian couple that, subject to possible changes, will form Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo.
