Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Monday honoured his country's tennis team after they defended their Davis Cup title over the weekend, saying they had made Spanish tennis "the best in the world".
"It was a spectacular series, you managed to make Spanish tennis, without a doubt, the best tennis in the world. You proved it again with this Davis Cup," he told the players at a reception at his official residence in Madrid, reports AFP news agency.
"You played just like the Roja. What one notices above all is the tremendous teamwork you display," he added, using the nickname for the Spain's national football team which won the Euro 2008 championship.
Defending champions Spain had sealed their fourth Davis Cup title on Saturday when the doubles pair of Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez demolished their Czech opponents to give the hosts an unassailable 3-0 lead.
