Argentina hasn’t lost on it’s home courts in 10 years, but Spain defeated the favored tennis team in this week’s Davis Cup.  Spain played without it’s star player, Rafael Nadal, due to an injury and the two best Argentine players, David Nalbandian and Juan Martin del Potro were unstoppable the past few months.  The trouble came in the doubles, after Nalbandian lost his concentration over an argument with the chair umpire.  Then, Jose Acasuso lost it in his fourth set at the Mar Del Plata courts.  The scores were as follows:
