Indian ace Leander Paes is one of the biggest stars in doubles and one of the best players in the history of tennis, said fourteen-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, who led Spain to the Davis Cup World Group by winning the doubles match here. "He (Leander) played a great match. Asked if they were confident of bouncing back after losing the first set in the doubles match, Nadal said: "We played point by point, that's all. In Davis Cup doubles there is always a lot of ups and downs and it was a typical doubles match. It was important for us to win doubles because in the history of Spanish team it has been difficult to win doubles."
