HAMBURG (GERMANY), Oct 25 (dpa / EP) –
The decision of the Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev not to participate in the Davis Cup this year is already official, as the number four of the world classification does not appear in the team announced this Monday by the German captain Michael Kohlmann.
Germany will feature in the new Davis Cup format, to be held from November 25 to December 5, with Jan-Lennard Struff, Dominik Koepfer and Peter Gojowczyk, returning to the team, for individual matches. Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz are part of the team as stunt specialists.
With this call, Kohlmann has the highest ranked German players in the ATP rankings, with the exception of Zverev, who rejected the new Davis Cup format from the beginning and was also absent two years ago, in 2019, when the Germans were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
