Article previews the upcoming Davis Cup match in the Spain vs Belgium tie. Rafael Nadal, Spain's top player, will face Xavier Malisse, Belgium's top player.
Rafael Nadal and Xavier Malisse will meet in Davis Cup action on Sunday March 6th and Nadal enters as a heavy favorite.
While Malisse is Belgium's top player few are picking the veteran to upset Nadal in their upcoming match.
Nadal and Malisse have met three times in the past with Nadal taking two of those matches and both of the ones that were played on clay.
Malisse actually beat Nadal the last time the two players met and it was their only match on the hard court surface to date. That was a match that was played way back in 2007 however and the result there does not imply much about their upcoming match except that Malisse might be able to hold his own against Rafa on cement.
But all things considered it would be a very significant upset if Nadal were to falter to Malisse. Their match comes from Belgium and is scheduled for 13:30 GMT on Sunday March 6th (8:30am ET).
