Despite extremely loud and sometimes also violent criticism, the organizers of the new Davis Cup can look forward to a great field of participants. For example, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev will be racing for their nations.
Between Nadal and Medvedev could even come in Group B to a reissue of the US Open final. In addition to Russia and Spain, Croatia will also be represented in this group. For the Croats Marin Cilic, Borna Coric and also double specialist Mate Pavic will compete.
Also in group A it could already come to very interesting encounters. France with Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Benoit Paire, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut meets Serbia led by Novak Djokovic. The other group opponent Japan has to do without Kei Nishikori.
Germany without Zverev
Germany's captain Michael Kohlmann has nominated Kevin Krawietz, Andreas Mies, Dominik Koepfer, Jan-Lennard Struff and Philipp Kohlschreiber. Alexander Zverev will not support the German team. The 22-year-old had canceled his participation early. Germany meets in Group C Argentina and Chile.
The UK, meanwhile, can look forward to the support of Andy Murray . The newly crowned Antwerp winner will be dealing with his team with Kazakhstan and the Netherlands.
The Davis Cup Final will be held in Madrid from November 18th to 24th. The group first and the two best runner-up qualify for the quarter-finals.
