This means that a third prominent player will be missing alongside Jannik Sinner (ATP 2) and Lorenzo Musetti (ATP 8), the latter having withdrawn due to physical fatigue and family reasons. "I've always said that playing for Spain is the greatest thing," said Carlos Alcaraz about his withdrawal. He had been very much looking forward to competing for the Davis Cup, but his doctor recommended that he did not compete.
Alcaraz only played in the final of the ATP Finals on Sunday, in which he lost to Jannik Sinner in two sets 7:6 (7:4), 7:5. Spain will now have to play the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals on November 20 without its best player.
