Team world. second late change in a week
No reason was given for Shelton’s departure, although the US Open runner-up is scheduled to play the US Davis Cup in the Czech Republic from Friday, a week after losing to Alexander Zverev in the US Open final. a loss that moved him back to a career-high No. 4 ranking.
This is Agassi’s second roster change in a week. Tommy Paul left due to injury on September 12 and was replaced by Francisco Cerundolo. Team World arrives as the defending champions, having beaten Team Europe 15-9 in San Francisco last year.
Nakashima. Montreal Final, Cincinnati Semi Final, First Top 20
Nakashima had the best season of his career. He reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Montreal in August and the semi-finals the following week in Cincinnati, results that vaulted him into the world Top 20 for the first time.
“I’m really excited to make my Lever Cup debut in London,” he said. “It’s an event I’ve always dreamed of playing and I’m looking forward to being a part of Team World playing alongside the boys and playing for Andre and Pat (Rafter, vice-captain). I’m looking forward to getting to the O2 and doing everything I can to help the team.”
Noah’s Europe squad, captained by Tim Henman, is made up of Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Flavio Cobolli, Kasper Ruud, Jakub Menczyk and Rafael Jodar, the 20-year-old Spaniard who is the team’s only rookie and will also make his debut.
