Monaco Joins Injured List for Argentina’s Davis Cup Team
February 27, 2010 · Print This Article
Argentine tennis player Juan Monaco will reportedly miss next week’s Davis Cup tie in Sweden because of an abdominal tear he sustained during his semifinal loss to Juan Carlos Ferrero in Acapulco, Mexico on Friday.
Retiring from the match after trailing 7-5, Monaco will join Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian as the nation’s most notable absentees.
“I think it is a tear,” Monaco told Argentine sports daily Ole. “I’m very angry.”
Juan Ignacio Chela will likely be called in to take Monaco’s place on the team. The Argentine veteran will be joined by Leonardo Mayer, Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos.
