Is he (the Serbian DC captain) hallucinating? Spain and Argentina is the best in the world at the moment.

Selector Bogdan Obradovic and Janko Tipsarevic appeared together at the press conference. A few minutes earlier Janko finished his match against Juan Monaco . Argentina is after 21 minutes when the score was 6:2 for the Serbs decided to throw the towel. So the final score 3-2 for the three-day competition Gaučosi.

- I want to congratulate the Argentineans deserved win. I think they played a game of life, especially Juan Martin Del Potro. Of course, congratulate my players. Everyone gave 100 percent options. We tried with Novak. He felt a slight pain on warming, but we hoped that during the match will not increase the pain. Unfortunately, it ended as it ended - said Obradovic .

- Del Potro was brilliant. I've never seen that play so well. On the other hand, we had practically useless best player in the world. Troicki was also in bad shape. I was practically one and the players ready for this game. The bloody injuries slowed us. Argentina deservedly went into the finals, just all the circumstances they went their way.

When asked if there is regret that he chose Djokovic , Obradovic said.
- No. I had the first player in the world, which this year was virtually lost only one match. We knew that it was not a hundred percent ready, but we hoped it would be enough. However, we are a young team. We will play many more years together will be more chances to win the trophy.

Janko Tipsarevic was despondent after the defeat.
- I am disappointed. It's a shame that Novak was not 100 percent ready. I just hope this injury he will not for a long time to separate from the court. What to do. We turn to next season. We will have time to prepare for next season.

Janko Tipsarevic lost to Del Potro in his first match
- I lost the better player. The man served incredibly. In two matches against me, and Novak, who is the best returner in the world, has allowed only one ball break.
The decisive triumph of the impact of Argentina a 2-0 advantage from the first day.

- We could not draw. And Victor and I did our best. Just past year has always been one of us was in a situation that pulls the team. Now it was not easy without Novak, especially when the Argentines in this form .
In this situation a lot of influence and tight calendar. Novak Djokovic on Monday, just won U.S. Open, and on Friday was supposed to play first match in Davis Cup. A similar situation will be next year, when the first round World Group on the program immediately after the Australian Open.

- It is not an issue for us, but for the people of the ITF. We are always here for Serbia and will always play for Serbia, it does not matter where. I can draw Brazil will go there. Another question is why the matches played on won three sets, why is so little time to rest. I hope that something will change and that someone will think of some more players.

Not much wrong with what he said. He is relaying confidence to his team, but also giving Argentina credit. Except for the line where he said all the circumstances went Argentina's way and the "virtually one loss" tidbit, he said the right things.

Tipsy as well, said the right things.

Del Potro isn't the only one who won for Argentina. Nalbandian has done more for that team than anyone. Give him some credit, you losers. :evil:

Agree, Nalbandian is one of the best DC players of his generation. If Delpo wasn't injured in 2008 DC final IMO Argies would have won, that was Nalbo's best shot at a DC title.

Yeah, the virtually one loss...that's why I don't like the retirements. The same thing happens in matches where Nadal loses/retires too. It's like Murray didn't wipe the court with him in Cincy or something...:?

Thread title is misleading.

Yeah, I didn't exactly see where Obradovic said that.

If he did say that anywhere though he's completely wrong, a team who doesn't even reach the final is in no way or shape the best in the world.

I just want to say that your signature is top notch. It's made me laugh like 3 different times.
