Neither Rafael Nadal nor Spanish captain David Ferrer is ready to say whether the 22-time Grand Slam champion will play singles or doubles at the Davis Cup Final 8.

Spain face the Netherlands in their opening match on Tuesday and Nadal could feature alongside Carlos Alcaraz, rekindling the partnership they had at the Paris Games where they reached the doubles quarterfinals.

Rafa Nadal will not dwell on his impending retirement at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga and only focus on helping Spain claim the trophy this week should he be called into action, the 38-year-old said on Monday.
