On his immediate thoughts on the result, and what India can take away from it:Well, the first thing I felt when I saw the draw a couple of months ago was how could we get such a bad draw? It was definitely the worst draw of all the teams that I would have wanted to play. We could have played Canada, we could have played Kazakhistan, we could have played Belgium. All with one superstar player. But here, even if I wished for Nadal not to come, they have David Ferrer, they have Feliciano Lopez, they have Batista-Agut. Theyve got 10 guys in the top 50, maybe more. So terrible draw first of all, and when we are trying to get into the world group this was not what we needed.Secondly, we found out this weekend, how much better we need to be both mentally and physically, and it was a learning experience for the boys. I mean Ramkumar played really well on the first day, Saketh Myneni played as well as he was allowed to play, against David Ferrer, but it was a complete mismatch, as was the singles today.Doubles was very competitive, we should have won that second set and gone two sets to love which would have made it very interesting. Both Leander and Saket played great, and we were very unlucky to lose that.On Sumit Nagals injury and the fitness levels of the Indians compared to international teamsWe are way behind the Spanish, but they are probably the fittest team in the world. I mean if you saw Marc Lopez today at 34 years of age, quite amazing. He played four very close and intense sets yesterday, came back, and was down 3-0 in the final set today and won 6 games. So the guy still had enough in the tank to play with a 19-year-old kid and beat him. And our 19-year-old kid kind of faded out. Im not exactly sure what went wrong. Maybe it was just nerves that caused him to tighten up because apparently from what Ive heard from other people he is a very fit guy. Today he looked exhausted from the second or third game of the first set, so I wasnt quite sure what exactly was the matter. And then he wanted to take a medical time out early in the third set when he wass up.ddddddddddddAnd you dont take medical time outs when youre up, you take it when youre down, as most people know.So I told him No, youre not going to do it now, but then he had some problem with his stomach, his abdomen and he said he couldnt breathe properly. I wasnt exactly sure what the problem was but having said all that, we do have fitness problems in our team, we do have cramping problems in our team, and so it needs to be worked out somehow. Its very hard for me as captain to say Well, Im going to put Saketh Myneni in but Im not sure he can play 5 sets. Thats not good. I mean rather play somebody else whos not as good, but who can last 5 sets, like Ramkumar.I dont think its a matter of lack of personnel or resources. I think youve just got to commit yourselves to train like the way David Ferrer does, or Feliciano Lopez does. Im not even saying like Nadal does, Im not talking about the top 4 or 5 guys in the world. Im taking about even to compete with the guys who are in the 20s, 30s, 40s, youve got to be in phenomenal physical shape and at 19 you should be. I mean, its amazing to me that 19, 21 and 25 year olds are not in the best shape they can possibly be, and really want to be pro-tennis players. Its just amazing. And as the coach, Zeeshan (Ali) and I were talking just the other day, its frustrating as hell. And the fact is that in our playing days, we didnt have tie-breakers, we played best of five sets, and if I went and told my coach or my captain, Ramanathan Krishnan at the time, that I cant play 3 days in a row, Id be off the team. Id be kicked off the team very quickly.On why the rest of the players werent seated in support for the Nagal-Lopez match, as against Spains contingent which was present in full:Well, I generally insist that the whole team sits behind me when I am sitting in the captains chair. Now Zeeshan is always there and Prajnesh (Gunneswaran) was there. But you know, Leander comes and goes. ' ' '
