US Open champion Zverev to play Davis Cup for Germany on the weekend
Freshly crowned US Open champion Alexander Zverev will play for Germany in the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Croatia, the team has said. Zverev is due to arrive in Halle on Thursday for the tie set for Saturday and Sunday.
German tennis star Alexander Zverev, the US Open champion, will represent Germany in the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Croatia, the team announced. Zverev will make his way to Halle on Thursday for the match scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The victor will advance to the Davis Cup Finals in late November in Italy. Team captain Michael Kohlmann expressed delight at having Zverev join the team, despite the physical toll of his remarkable grand slam season and US Open victory.
Kohlmann stated that this is a significant endorsement for their team and German tennis enthusiasts. Zverev, who secured his second grand slam title of the year at the US Open on Sunday, expressed his desire to participate in the Davis Cup but acknowledged that his entourage wished for him to prioritize rest. He had been nominated for the tie last month, with Kohlmann indicating at the time that Zverev's participation might hinge on his performance in the US Open.
Following the Davis Cup, Zverev is also scheduled to compete at the September 25-27 Laver Cup tournament in London.
