Novak Djokovic is officially out from the ATP Cup, leaving Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas as the top-ranked players competing in the event. The players’ entry list has been completely revised after the defection of many participants.

Team Russia

Team Russia, originally the favorite to win the competition, lost some important players. Andrey Rublev had to withdraw because he tested positive for Coronavirus. It is now known that also Aslan Karatsev and Evgeny Donskoy could not be part of the team because they fell sick (also Coronavirus?).

Felix Auger-Aliassime

Curiously, Felix Auger Aliassime at 21 years of age will also be the captain of Team Canada that can be considered among the favorites probably alongside team Italy.
