ATP: Juan Carlos Ferrero – Rather Zverev than Davis Cup captain

Juan Carlos Ferrero rejects the offer as Spanish Davis Cup captain and will obviously work with Alexander Zverev beyond 2017.

The contract of Conchita Martinez as Spanish Davis Cup captain was not renewed.Her successor will be Sergi Bruguera.Juan Carlos Ferrero was also in discussion, but he preferred to continue working with Alexander Zverev.And this also beyond the year 2017, if you look at Ferrero’s current statement.Shortly after the cooperation with Ferrero began, Zverev won the tournaments in Washington, D. C.and Montreal.

“The Spanish federation contacted me to see if I would like to become a Spanish Davis Cup captain.It has always been one of my goals to be an active part of Spanish tennis.I do that through my academy, too.I am sorry that I cannot accept this at the moment, as I have started an employment relationship with Alexander Zverev.It is not right to interrupt this out of professional commitment, even if it would be exciting to represent Spain in the ultimate team competition.I thank the Association and the President for their trust, and I hope that there will be this opportunity again in the future.”
