Satisfied
Krajicek was pleased. ''Ideally you want the number one or two of the world on your tournament, but despite the fact that this is not successful, we have a well entrants. It is important that Djokovic (world number three, ed) there is present.''
Nadal said about the tournament boss:''I was told last week that he is not medical advice. He will be in February but an event and chooses to play the Davis Cup.''
Federer
That would not participate Federer was already known. Krajicek has yet ventured beyond the 'no' even a phone call to Nadal. But he prefers''a week of training over the tournament.''
