After the festival celebration yesterday, the players in the Davis had lived a quiet trip. Tired by the festivities in Argentina, on the way back to Spain, there was hardly festive mood, as confirmed Fernando Verdasco, the last to make act of presence, nothing more to get to Madrid.

However, the big absentee was the 'Salad Bowl', which will arrive next week to Spain, as it is being recorded in London under the name of the winner as Spain and Argentina as a runner. It will be the third visit of the trophy this year, as was shown last January at the headquarters of the Community of Madrid during the presentation of the sponsorship of 'Madrid Tourism' to the Davis Cup and the month of September at headquarters BNP Paribas during the draw for the 2009 edition.

Fernando Verdasco, hero of the final to secure the point which gave the victory to the Spanish team, said that what is living "is a dream come true." "Since I started giving my first hit with the racket and dreamed of living a moment like this. I still do not think so," said the player.

On the withdrawal of his friend Rafa Nadal shortly before the final, said: "We were confident of victory but, following the withdrawal of Rafa, we enjoyed less pressure and could play more relaxed despite the harassment of the fans argentina" .

Madrid player, visibly tired by the long voyage and the celebrations, did not want to position themselves to the continuation or not of Pedro Munoz at the head of the federation, considering that it was not the most appropriate time to discuss that topic.

Meanwhile, Feliciano Lopez and David Ferrer, were happy for the victory but admitted that still are not very aware of what they have accomplished. "In the coming days we will we realized what we have achieved."

Feliciano, who won two of the three points with which Spain secured the victory in the Davis Cup, has assured that, no doubt, are the two most important matches of his career. "Right now all I can say is that I'm living through one of the happiest moments of my life."

Today is a day of rest for the new golden boys of our tennis to recover from the shocks of the weekend. But starting tomorrow will begin visits and tributes. The recognition is well deserved.
