    Spanish players ranked are Nadal at 2 (who Pete Bodo nominated for Davis Cup player of the decade); Verdasco 9; Robredo 16; Ferrer 18; Juan Carlos Ferrero 23; and Nicholas Almagro 26; Albert Montanes 31; Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 41; and Feliciano Lopez 47.  For comparison, the US has four in top 50; only France comes close with six, and Gasquet lurking right outside top 50 at 52.
