David Nalbandian Great Tennis Player

When David Nalbandian speaks, his words can be as captivating as his tennis. This is what the Argentine tennis master stated during a panel interview on ESPN2 with Brad Gilbert, Darren Cahill and Patrick McEnroe, after his stunning domination of Marin Cilic in the Washington semifinal…

Nalbandian says he is most motivated by Davis Cup: “Very good players like Vilas, Clerc have won everything (in tennis) except the Davis Cup. So I want to win the Davis Cup.”

He says he prefers the challenge of Davis Cup over grand slams: “It’s a different pressure than the grand slams. I play better in that than everybody else.”

On why Nadal and Federer stand above the rest in the ATP: “I think they are a step over the rest – for the moment. They are completely different players from the mind. Not the game.. The difference is in the mind. From the mind, they are different from the rest.”

Nalbandian on what Federer might need to regain his #1 position: “Roger – maybe he needs motivation from somewhere else.”

David Nalbandian surgery

I was expecting this news, but still it is sad to learn that my Nalby will be out for the rest of the season. You can get more information about his injury and upcoming surgery from his official site davidnalbandian.com. It is not a secret that I am a crazy David Nalbandian fan.
And I have never had a chance to see him play live:-( But this year I thought would be THE Year. We were planning to go to Roland Garros to see him, and now I don’t have another favorite for who I feel I am ready to travel to Paris. Good Luck David with the surgery and the recovery. Tennis Info Blog will miss you!
