After Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz also has to pass for the Davis Cup group phase.
The cancellations for the group phase of the Davis Cup finals from September 12th to 17th are steadily increasing. After yesterday the organizers in Bologna had to do without their driving force following Jannik Sinner’s cancellation, Carlos Alcaraz has now withdrawn from the event in Valencia.
At the group stage matches in Valencia, quite a few spectators were looking forward to another meeting between the current world number one Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, his successor after the US Open. In addition to Spain and Serbia, the Czech Republic and South Korea are also fighting on the Spanish Mediterranean coast for a place in the final tournament in Malaga.
Not only as a figurehead, but also from a sporting perspective, the 20-year-old’s rejection hits the Spanish team really hard. In addition to Rafael Nadal, Pablo Carreno Busta has also been missing for some time due to injury. In addition to the already nominated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Roberto Bautista Agut and the doubles specialist Marcel Granollers, Albert Ramos-Vinolas will now also join the team for Valencia.
