Nicolas Massu admits the Chile players are finding it hard to concentrate on this weekend's Davis Cup tie following the earthquake.
Both Massu and Fernando Gonzalez are hoping to offer their home nation a "morale boost" with victory over Israel - with the tie due to begin in Coquimbo on Saturday.
Chile will start the Davis Cup encounter as strong favourites but, understandably, 30-year-old Massu says it is hard to have his mind solely on tennis.
"It does not seem easy to focus on the match, but at the same time we will do our part to give our country a morale boost by winning this tie," Massu revealed.
