Kyrgios ruled out of Davis Cup after abdominal strain, replaced by Vukic

The Hindu  

Nick Kyrgios has been replaced in Australia’s Davis Cup squad by Aleksandar Vukic after the former Wimbledon finalist suffered an abdominal strain in the lead-up to the Australian Open. After a five-year absence from the Davis Cup, Kyrgios had been a surprise inclusion in the squad named by captain Lleyton Hewitt in December for the first-round tie against Sweden starting later on Friday. “I was excited to think of the potential for him to be back in the Davis Cup team, but it wasn’t to be and obviously he’s very underdone with his body,” Hewitt told Australian media. The Australian Open was Kyrgios’s first Grand Slam action since the 2022 U.S. Open, with knee, foot and wrist problems wiping out his 2023 and 2024 seasons.
