Argentinean tennis star David Nalbandian has denied reports that he intends to quit the Argentinean Davis Cup team following his country’s dramatic loss to Spain in the 2008 Davis Cup final in Mar del Plata this weekend.

Nalbandian’s name had been added to the casualty list for the Davis Cup following the resignation of both captains of the Davis Cup finalists on Monday.

“For me, it’s really an honour to represent my country,” Nalbandian told reporters. “I’m going to continue defending these colours in the best way possible. For me, playing the Davis Cup is the best and I’m upset that people have doubted me.”

While Nalbandian reaffirmed his commitment to the Argentinean Davis Cup cause, he was also open about the heartache he suffered after watching Jose Acasuso go down to Fernando Verdasco in the decisive Davis Cup match on Sunday.

“I feel bad about the defeat,” Nalbandian said. “They were tough, tense moments we went through. This was our worst defeat. We had a sinister weekend. We’ve played in two Davis Cup finals in the last three years and I still think we can win it.”
