His presence in this important tournament reflects his commitment and that of the Argentine Tennis Association with the development and monitoring of albiceleste players in different types of competitions.
During his stay in MadridFrana closely observed the performances of the Argentine players, evaluated their performance and potential for future tournaments: “My vision with the Captaincy has more to do with a process and not so much with the immediate series ahead, or with the result. It is about accompanying the players, being aware of their situations and willingness to try to help them in case they feel necessary. Be available, too, your work teams“.
As the mother entity of the national tennis announced, Frana analyzed: “That is the vision we share with the AAT: being close, that we are a tool that, too, allows us to know each other, exchange ideas, share experiences, talks. Through that understanding is how chemistry is being achieved. ”
Twenty weeks after being designated as Captain, the 58 -year -old Rafaelino is clear that, in 2025, from his home he could follow the performance of all Argentine players anywhere in the world. But it also knows that the proximity provides an irreplaceable added value. As soon as he assumed, he traveled to Australia For the first Grand Slam of the season; Now it is in Madridin less than a month he will be in Roland Garros And, quite possibly, stop in the US Open Before traveling to Netherlands For the second round of Qualifiers of the Davis Cup.

But he does not attend to this idea of being close to them and share the previous moments, see them on the court and then. The difference is clear and considerable. Argentina had the enormous honor and privilege of having 12 players disputing this tournament, between the classification and the main box, which is a whole brand, ”added Frana.
To Brakethe Argentines “had a very good performance, especially in the initial rounds,” but considers that doing a general analysis ends up being unfair because each one has objectives and crosses different situations.
Inevitably, he stops in Francisco Cerúando him, The Argentine player of the moment he has just defeated the world number 2, Alexander Zverev for the third time. “Clearly, it is no accident that Fran has an extraordinary performance again in front of players of the top ten. His hierarchy and his power clearly mark that he has the tools to beat this type of players. These triumphs will give him the conviction that he is prepared for this type of challengebecause he has a capacity and strength in his shots that allow him to face them equally and put them against the ropes at all times, ”said the coach.
And he concluded: “He was confident, and at no time Zverev gave the feeling of being able to hurt him and compromise him. Fran is having a process of evolution last year at this 2025which has basically that he begins to trust that he is at the highest level of world tennis. ”
