Vázquez: No Sanctions against David

Argentina's Davis Cup captain Tito Vázquez has declared that David's Miami comments won't have any consequences and that Argentina will enter the quarterfinal tie against the Czech Republic at Ostrava (indoors, on carpet) with David and Delpo as singles players.
In contrast to some of the AAT officials, Vázquez showed understanding for David and the circumstances in which he made those comments. "I think it was a spontaneous reaction and for me, it doesn't change at all what I discussed with him the following day. When you read those lines it bothers you, but when you read between the lines and you know the way the press was talking to him, you realize it wasn't really meant like that."

Vázquez admitted that David and Delpo playing doubles at Indian Wells came as a complete surprise for him and answered the question whether they might play doubles at Ostrava. "I think it was a decision made by their coaches, the credit for it belongs to them. When it's time for the quarterfinal tie we'll have to see whether it's an option or not."

This Vazquez sounds like a really good bloke, very wise and understanding. I guess just what Argentina needs in a team captain.

Thanks for the info.
I've had a look at the site and I like the way they announce David as one of their major attractions. :)

Anyway, I think Vázquez handled the situation extremely well. So far, he has done a good job. But the first real test will of course be the quarterfinal tie.

Yeah I saw the same thing, which amused me - having David up the top as one of the four stars - then having Murray down the bottom with the rest of them.
