However, a good performance at Wimbledon Open, where he was a special guest, help him raise morale and his game. Under pressure with the series equalized, Ferrero played at the top of his game. On the first day, Andrea Beck defeated Spain's Tommy Robledo and Spain's doubles team defeated their German rivals.
Spain's next competitive game is against Israel, which eliminated Russia on Sunday, in a shock upset.
