David Ferrer has serious ambitions with the Spanish team, which is in the finals of the Davis Cup in Bologna. As the captain of this team, Ferrer hopes that his team can win in the quarter-final duel against the Czech Republic, which is a serious team with great individuals.
Namely, the Czech team is made up of quality players, but Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik will certainly play the main role. Two talents with huge potential want to help the Czech Republic reach the finals, but they are aware that they have a challenging task ahead of them.
In an interview with Punto de Break, the experienced Spaniard had words of praise for them as well, primarily referring to Lehecka. There are many characteristics that Ferrer is delighted with when it comes to Lehecka, but he especially emphasizes the mental strength and pace of this player.
Starting with Lehecka, hes a player whos had a strange end to the year, Ferrer told Punto de Break. He also had an injury for a good part of last year but hes a player who, in my opinion, is easily a top 20 player, and a player with the potential to be a top 10 player. No doubt about it.
Hes very Czech; Czechs always end up playing at the same speed, very flat, theyre indoor players. Besides, hes a mentally strong player. Hes the kind of guy you have to compete against and beat. I think it works in our favor that he came into the year with less confidence, winning fewer matches.- he said, as quoted by Tennis Gazette.
Ferrer praised Mensik
Not long after, Ferrer praised Mensik, believing that he will be a top 10 player in the future. Speaking about his performances, he also touched on some of Mensik's great matches, primarily in Miami where Mensik won.
However, these matches carry a special pressure and Ferrer points out that it will be interesting to see how Mensik will handle it.
These matches will certainly bring excitement because we have two strong teams with great individuals and it is difficult to predict who will advance to the next round.
