Rafa Nadal says Leon appointment is 'strange'

León's nomination Sunday sparked criticism from former and current men's players and coaches, including the suggestion that she would face a "logistical" problem in entering a men's locker room.At her official presentation Tuesday, León said, "I'm not here to create a sexist debate but to bring back home the salad bowl," a reference to the Davis Cup trophy. She said that she would listen to the players to try to ease any rift, "although not everybody has to have the same opinion."However, the country's top player Rafael Nadal has echoed concerns of his uncle Toni, about the move."It (the nomination) is strange.I don't know her (Gala Leon) and I don't have anything against her, but usually being nominated as the Davis Cup captain was a prize after a great career, and there are many players who had fantastic careers and haven't served as captain yet," he said.  León takes over as captain from Carlos Moyá, a former No. 1-ranked player, at what is a low point for Spanish tennis.Moyá resigned after Spain absorbed a humiliating defeat against Brazil this month that relegated it from the world group of elite teams for the first time since 1995.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.Az
