New Delhi - Nadal says special things can happen for lower-ranked Indian players in the World Group play-off tie regardless of it being a complete mismatch between the two sides.He also reflected on how India will have conditions that suit them despite not having a single player in top-100 ahead of their David Cup tie in New Delhi.The Indian players will play in front of their crowd with conditions they chose. And in Davis Cup, special things can happen. It has happened in the past. We lost a couple of confrontations (contest) that we believed we were favourites and were in good position. There is respect for India, they have good players, good double team, Nadal said at the pre-draw press conference here today.Few times we have the opportunity to get back to the World Group, we didnt (win). Hope this time it can change. A team like Spain should be in the World Group, he said.Nadal who has been crucial in Spains victorious Davis Cup campaigns in the past (2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011) was referring to their 1-3 defeat in the World Group Play-off against Brazil in 2014 and the 2-3 loss to Russia in the Europe/Africa Group last year.Earlier they had lost to Germany in the World Group first round to find themselves in the Group competition. Spain had not fielded their A team in those ties with neither Nadal nor Ferrer featuring in the contests.World number 13 David Ferrer also spoke about the importance of having a strong team in the unfavorable conditions in India. He also said that he was not sure if he will be fielded on the opening day.In Davis Cup, we are the favourites due to ranking but we are playing in India with different conditions. I will give my best and play a good match. Its an important tie. Its a difficult tie and its good for us to have have Nadal and Feliciano Lopez Ferrer said.Feliciano Lopez, who is likely to feature in doubles, echoed similar sentiments as that of Leander Paes when he said the evening timing was better for both teams and the tie.Conditions are always crucial. We have played in different places. Its an advantage not for us but for the other team also. To play in worse conditions would not be good for the show. Its a good choice to play in the evening, he said. Kyle Gibson Jersey . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0).

Theyre not in holiday mode yet but Melbourne coach Paul Roos has declared the Demons 2016 AFL season a success.A first win over Hawthorn, or any defending premier, in a decade and the re-signings of brothers Tom and Oscar McDonald has Roos delighted with progress at the AFL club.Like a painter looking back at a canvas, Roos is reflecting on his three years at the club ahead of his final three weeks at the helm.From two wins in 2013, the Demons have nine this year - their best return since 2006.The McDonalds are the latest in a long line of re-contracted youngsters, with Jack Viney (signed until 2020), Jack Watts (2019), Jeff Garlett (2019), Clayton Oliver (2019), Jayden Hunt (2018) and James Harmes (2018) among those to re-sign this year.So while its not mission accomplished just yet, its close enough for Roos.Its not finished. Lets be really clear on that. But absolutely (its been a successful year) ... theres been enormous strides, he said on Thursday.The coaching group have done a fantastic job. Goody and all his assistants have been outstanding.The players are learning, are getting better.The body of work weve put in has been really significant.To get from two wins to nine and the percentage over 100 with three games to go has been a terrific effort.And whats more, the Demons arent giving up on finals just yet.Should North Melbourne loose to Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon, Melbourne will take the field against Port Adelaide on Saturday night knowing a win will keep alive an improbable finals berth.ddddddddddddNorth would still need to lose every game, and the Demons have to win their last three while making up a chunk of percentage.St Kilda would also need to lose at least one of their matches.And perhaps thats why Roos wasnt keen to make a big deal of sneaking into eighth place.Ive never been one to worry too much about that, he said.Weve got a lot of work to do on our game.Weve won two in a row now ... if things fall your way thats great.Roos said he was not too sure whether there would be any more re-signings before years end, with flag-winning forward Chris Dawes and former Demon captains Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes without a deal to play in 2017.But he was always confident Tom McDonalds future was at Melbourne.It probably dragged out a little bit longer than we thought. Thats not a big deal. Its done now, he said.If you can get a good centre half-back, centre half-forward, its really, really important.Roos said Jesse Hogan would be fit to face Port Adelaide but first-gamer Sam Weideman might not be able to back up with a corked thigh.
