- Leading candidates to replace Alberto Mancini as Argentine Davis Cup captain are Martin Jaite (David Nalbandian's coach), Hernan Gumy and Gabriel Markus (a former Nalbandian coach). The leading candidate to replace Emilio Sanchez as Spanish Davis Cup captain is Albert Costa, who Sanchez has called his 'natural successor.' David Ferrer also voiced his support for Costa, and Rafael Nadal has done so in the past. Another name in the mix is Alex Corretja.
- Argentine press report that financial conflict also affected the Davis Cup team that lost last weekend's final against Spain. Nalbandian was originally due to receive half of the $2.8 million the Argentine tennis association was playing the team, but del Potro, after rising into the Top 10 during the second half of the year, was asking for a more equal distribution.
