The doubles formed by Hidalgo and Escobar questioned the triumph of the Russian duet this Saturday. He was close to victory against Spain on Friday.
Ecuador closed its participation in the final phase of the Davis Cup with a new 3-0 defeat, against Russia, but with the feeling of having offered a good level and of having close to victory in some of the matches played.
The captain of the Ecuadorian team, Raúl Viver, expressed himself: “Four of the six games we played went to three sets and it is hard to assimilate these two days, especially on Friday against Spain, because we got very close. These players have yet to reach the ceiling of their careers. They have room for improvement. Hopefully we can return, and among 145 countries, getting among the top eighteen has its merit. We showed that we did not come to make an appearance, but to compete ”.
The doubles formed by Diego Hidalgo and Gonzalo Escobar questioned the triumph of the Russian duet. It was close to the victory against Spain on Friday.
“Gonzalo and I are a great couple and we know that we can meet any couple in the world. It was seen this week, ”Hidalgo recalled.
For his part, Escobar especially regretted the defeat against Spain, with Pablo Carreño and Marcel Granollers. “Friday’s game was more for us, against Spain. Getting up and ready for today against the toughest team in the world was hard to take in. They imposed their game. It happened to us again. The match is defined at the end. The margin of error is very small. We were able to win on Friday and this game too ”.
“It has been a long and hard year, but it is what I always wanted. I think I can improve. Now, to rest and wait for what comes ”, concluded the manabita. (D)
