Overview

Hosts India come into this all-important clash on the back of a convincing win over Korea Republic earlier this year and though confidence will be high in the camp, the Indians will know that they will need to play out of their skins if they are to overcome the all-star Spanish line-up.

Another worry for the hosts is that barring 43-year-old Leander Paes, the hosts lack experience with Saketh Myneni, Ramkumar Ramanathan and Sumit Nagal all young players who have no taste of the big stage.

India captain Anand Amritraj has called the decision by the authorities to stage the matches in the evening unfortunate. This decision he thinks will compromise the country's advantage considering they are playing at home.

Their opponents, Spain, come into this clash looking to win this tie and retake their place among the 16-team elite for next year. That the Spanish are taking this clash seriously can be seen by the team that have travelled to India, with superstars Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer, Feliciano and Marc Lopez set to take part.

Nadal is undoubtedly the star of the show, with a huge turnout in New Delhi expected to come and watch the Spaniard considering his popularity in India. Spain are the undoubted favourites, with an upset from the hosts very unlikely.

Head-to-head

The two teams have faced each other thrice in the past with Spain holding a 2-1 advantage. They last met way back in 1965 with Spain coming out on top, winning 3-2.
