Carlos Alcaraz will not play for Spain in the Davis Cup

The competition will take place from September 12 to 17, and Group C includes Spain, Serbia, the Czech Republic and South Korea.

Alcaraz, who will also lose the ATP No. 1 ranking early next week, will thus miss the match against Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.

Carlos will be replaced by Albert Ramos-Vinolas (88 ATP).

The games will be held in Valencia, and the two best teams will advance to the 1/8 finals (November 21-26, Malaga).
