Official: Alcaraz Withdraws from the Davis Cup!
Carlos Alcaraz will not participate in the Davis Cup Finals (November 18-23) in Bologna.
This is the news Spain dreaded. Carlos Alcaraz, the team's pillar and a global tennis star, will ultimately not play in the Davis Cup. According to information from journalist Ángel García Muñiz, the world number 1 is suffering from a muscle edema with a very high risk of rupture.
An alarming diagnosis, which prompted the medical staff to halt any participation immediately. A difficult but essential decision.
With this absence, David Ferrer will have to rely on Jaume Munar and Pablo Carreño Busta for the singles matches. And on Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez for the doubles in the quarter-final against the Czech Republic (November 20).
