Quiroz fell to Rublev but won a set. He also showed a good level against Spain, in the duel against Feliciano López although he fell in two sets.
Ecuador’s number two Roberto Quiroz stressed the good level of the team in the Davis Cup Finals despite defeats like the one he suffered against Feliciano López on Friday, which led to several criticisms that encouraged him to improve against Russian Andrey Rublev.
Roberto Quiroz fell to Rublev but won a set. He also showed a good level against Spain, in the duel against Feliciano López although he fell in two sets. The Ecuadorian left the meeting satisfied. Also his captain Raúl Viver. But the criticisms were not along those lines.
“The game on Friday was more balanced than it seemed on the scoreboard. I’m enjoying this Davis. However, after the match against Feliciano and congratulated by Raúl (Viver) I opened Twitter later and saw criticism … that I did lose to a 40-year-old player and such. And that hurts and I was left with the bitter taste. That made me enter the court in a different way, with a different approach. This time much more courageous and it was better for me. I am 29 years old, I try to take care of my body to be up to 38 ″, said Quiroz.
Before Rublev he offered a great level. He led the fifth player in the world to the third set. “I came out feeling good. Nobody likes to lose but I played one-on-one against a tennis player like Rublev. He is number five in the world and I have played very well. I feel better and optimistic about 2022 ″.
“This is simply to imply that beating Ecuador is difficult. We have shown why we are here. Why are we here with players whose ranking is not at this level. We leave everything on the court. It is a privilege to be here. We win or lose as a team. For 2022 many positive things. Ending this year in this way leaves me with many things after all the problems I had before ”, analyzed the number two of tennis in Ecuador.
The Ecuadorian team offered a great level in Madrid. “We try to know what the difference is between playing in the Davis Cup and playing the Tour. So many feats of the Lapenti, Andrés Gómez … many stories in this tournament. Experience is important and this tournament is a priority. Here you play for something bigger than yourself, which is your country ”, he concluded. (D)
