Leon Smith
Great Britain Davis Cup captain on Radio 5 live sports extra"I think it depends on what point we reach with the ITF, I've spoken to a few people who are close to him and are saying that's not the case, he'll have a press conference today and there's an opportunity to clarify the situation.
"We've supported him very well with the appeal case and I would wait to see what clarification comes out of it.
"As a player of course you want to the play at the Olympics that's why we want to help and get him available for selection as those players already in the team are."

Haase 1-4 Nadal*
Robin Haase is getting over 80% of his first serves in, and still barely winning a point. That's a fine smash though to make it 15-15.

*Haase 1-3 Nadal
Robin Haase has got to try something, but I'm not sure that a serve-volley approach on clay is the answer. That's nice though! Not sure how to describe that, a sliced drop shot from the Dutchman that foxes Nadal all ends up. And that's a game on the board. First step.

Haase 0-3 Nadal*
This first set could be over before you know it. Three-nil to Nadal with some very efficient tennis. If his knees don't fall off he could take some beating once more.

Haase 0-1 Nadal*
Leon Smith
Great Britain Davis Cup captain on Radio 5 live sports extraHaase is a big server and has a big forehand but he's a shot-maker and can sometimes miss shots by several feet.
He is a good defensive player and he likes the squash-style shot to reach some tough pick-ups at full stretch.
He looks solid on the backhand but has this flamboyant forehand.

Haase 0-1 Nadal*
Nadal thinks he's got the early break but he's left looking at the skies and cursing as the umpire calls it long.
Robin Haase then keeps him on his toes with some lengthy forehands and gains an advantage, only to duff a double fault into the net. Deuce.

Haase 0-1 Nadal*
Robin Haase, of the Netherlands, has already caught the eye with a few unorthodox shots. He gets tied up in a knot by Nadal's pressure and hooks an inside-out forehand just wide. 30-30.
