Davis Cup 2025

[Hans Meyer]

Davidovich Fokina ist sicherlich keine Bank, aber dennoch ist das natürlich ein Schlag, dass er nicht dabei ist beim Final 8 Turnier.

ADF war enttäuscht:

"I believe I deserved to be called up, with all due respect to my teammates. I am the Spanish number 2 and I am at my best ranking," the letter from the current World No. 14 read. "David called me a week ago to inform me of his decision; I had already told him before to count on me because it is always a source of pride to represent Spain. It is his decision, and there is nothing else but to respect it."

Ferrers Entscheidung hatte mit der letzten Runde zu tun:

The truth is that Ferrer was upset by two last-minute withdrawals from Davidovich in previous stages of the tournament. This was the case in the Qualifiers against Denmark, the week after the US Open, where Alcaraz's break after winning the title at Flushing Meadows, was compounded by Davidovich's withdrawal. "When the US Open finishes, he tells me he has problems and prefers not to play," Ferrer mentioned regarding Davidovich Fokina.
"That created a big problem for me because Granollers ended up injured, played infiltrated, and I had already discussed with Alcaraz that if he reached the final, he wouldn't be able to play. I was left with four players, no substitutes..." he added. "When he tells me again that he won't play due to physical and mental exhaustion, what am I supposed to do?"

Aktuell wollen nur 3 Spieler am DC teilnehmen, die vor ADF stehen: Alcaraz, Zverev, Musetti. Spanien verzichtet auf eine sehr starke Nummer 2. Mal sehen ob sich Ferrer und ADF wieder annähern oder bei Misserfolg Ferrer vllt gehen muss
