Nadal, Verdasco struggle ahead of Davis Cup final

With just a few days to go before Spain attempts to defend its Davis Cup title against the Czech Republic, Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco — the country's two best players — are struggling to find a way to win.

Nadal lost his third straight match at the ATP World Tour Finals on Friday, a day after Verdasco lost the last of his three round-robin matches in the season-ending tournament.
