GENEVA, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- World number two Rafael Nadal said Wednesday he was fully fit to play for Spain's opening leg Davis Cup tie against Switzerland here later this week.

    "I'm fine. I'm 100 percent good and I was practicing over the last week in Majorca," the 20 year-old Spaniard said in a pre-match press conference here.

    Nadal limped out of the Australian Open on Jan. 24 after a straight sets defeat against Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.

    Spanish team coach Emilio Sanchez said Nadal had strained a muscle in his left leg.

    Nadal said he played his best tennis in Melbourne in his third round straight sets victory over Stanislaw Wawrinka, who will be leading the Swiss in Geneva in the absence of world number one Roger Federer.

    Federer had already announced last November that he would not be taking part in the Davis Cup first round while concentrating on his personal career.
