Van de Zandschulp on shock win: "I'd have cheered for Nadal too"

Dutch News  

Botic van de Zandschulp paid tribute to Rafael Nadal after bringing down the curtain on the tennis legend’s career as the Netherlands defied the odds to knock Spain out of the Davis Cup in Malaga. “The crowd didn’t make it easy,” Van de Zandschulp said after his straight-sets victory in the opening singles match. Van de Zandschulp took full advantage of his 38-year-old opponent’s inability to cover the whole court, winning the first set 6-4 and taking a 4-1 lead early in the second set. “We close the circle” “I lost my first match in the Davis Cup, and I lost my last one,” Nadal said after Van de Zandschulp broke the Spaniard’s 29-match winning streak in the competition.
