Carlos Alcaraz will not feature in Spain’s upcoming Davis Cup tie against Denmark, scheduled for next weekend in Marbella. The match will be played on clay at the Puente Romano Tennis Club, a surface that traditionally favors the Spanish squad. Alcaraz’s absence comes just days after his intense run at the US Open, and while his withdrawal is understandable, it leaves Spain without its top singles player at a crucial moment.

Granollers doubtful after doubles success

Marcel Granollers, who recently captured both the US Open and Roland Garros doubles titles, is also uncertain for the tie. His participation remains in question, adding further unpredictability to Spain’s lineup. Granollers has been a key figure in Spain’s Davis Cup efforts, especially in doubles, and his potential absence could shift the balance in Denmark’s favor.

Munar joins Davidovich and Martinez

In response to the lineup changes, Jaume Munar has been added to the Spanish squad, joining Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Pedro Martinez. Both Davidovich and Martinez are experienced clay-court players, and Munar brings additional depth. While the team lacks its headline star, it still carries strong potential, especially on home soil.

Denmark brings firepower with Rune and Moller

Denmark arrives with a formidable duo in Holger Rune and Elmer Moller. Rune, a top-tier talent with clay-court credentials, is expected to lead the charge. Moller, who has been gaining momentum with consistent performances, adds further strength to the Danish side. Their presence makes the tie highly competitive, especially given Spain’s weakened roster.

A tie that could go either way

With Alcaraz out and Granollers uncertain, the Davis Cup matchup between Spain and Denmark is now wide open. The clay surface in Marbella may still offer an edge to the Spanish players, but Denmark’s rising stars are more than capable of causing an upset. Fans can expect a tightly contested battle, where depth, adaptability, and team chemistry will play decisive roles.
