David Nalbandian unlikely to play in Davis Cup, doctor saysAugust 15, 2013 - 11:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - After 40-minute training sessions on Monday (August 11) and Tuesday (with Lucas Arnold Ker) the training at the BALTC could be a decisive one for former World No. 3 David Nalbandian, the player's official fan blog said. For the first time since surgery, David will try to serve and it remains to be seen how that will agree with his operated shoulder. Until now he has only "played from the baseline," as Davis Cup team doctor Miguel Khoury told Clarin. "So far he did everything according to plan but you can't draw any conclusions from that". Apparently, word at the BALTC is that when it comes to David's chances of playing it's looking 'more like a no than a yes'. Even if Diego Rodriguez maintains that "you shouldn't count him out just yet". The article also raises the question whether David is going to play another ATP tournament or whether the exhibition match against Rafa Nadal in November will be his farewell. Earlier, Martin Jaite said that there's "a slight hope" that David might play in Prague but that it's "going to be difficult".
