After nearly three years away from the German team, Alexander Zverev is back on a stage that always sparks passion: the Davis Cup. The world No. 3 will lead Germany in the quarterfinals against Argentina, a clash packed with history, pride, and unfinished business
The showdown will take place on November 20 in Bologna, host of the Final 8, where the top eight nations compete for team glory. Zverev last played in the Davis Cup in February 2023 against Switzerland, a bitter defeat for Germany. Since then, the Hamburg star had focused on the individual tour… until now.
Captain Michael Kohlmann is relying on his ace. Zverev will be Germany’s No. 1 singles player, likely facing Francisco Cerúndolo, who holds a 3-1 head-to-head advantage. Their last meeting in Toronto 2024 ended abruptly due to Cerúndolo’s injury, adding extra intrigue to this highly anticipated rematch.
The second singles match will see Jan-Lennard Struff take on Tomás Etcheverry, two contrasting styles ready to collide. On indoor hard courts, the advantage might lean toward the European. Germany completes its lineup with the formidable doubles team of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, fresh off their Shanghai Masters 1000 victory.
