Alexander Zverev joked around with his doubles colleagues Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz at the tennis season finale in Turin. Of course, that didn’t lead to a rethink. The top German player is flying on vacation after the ATP tennis season finale instead of to the Davis Cup finals. «Kevin tried to persuade me a few times to let me play Davis Cup. Then I sent him my booking Maldives shown. A few times. Then the topic was over,” said Zverev in Turin with a smile.
Like Zverev, the Krawietz/Pütz doubles are in the semi-finals of the year-end tournament and will also play for a place in the final on Saturday.
After the ATP Finals, the two will go to the Davis Cup finals in Malaga, where the German team will have to do without Zverev. The second in the world rankings, who has had lung problems for a long time, had previously justified his cancellation with the need to recover before the new season.
Germany will face Canada in the quarter-finals in Malaga on November 20th. If they win, they would play in the semi-finals against the winner of the duel between Netherlands and Spain. For the Spanish world star Rafael Nadal, the Davis Cup Finals are the last appearance of his career.
