Alejandro Falla, captain of the “Colombia” team, revealed, on Friday, the five players he has chosen to face the United Kingdom in the Davis Cup qualifiers. The tennis player from Cali will use his best cards and repeat the list that beat Turkey in Bogota.
“I’m telling you we already have a full roster to face the UK in the Davis Cup, next February 3rd and 4th at Pueblo Viejo Country Club. Colombia’s first and best racket will be Danny Galán, second place Nicolas Mejia; three, Nicolás Barrientos, who was with us in the last Two matches; (Juan Sebastian) Caballe and (Robert) Farah in doubles would complete the list.”Falla began by saying in a video that the Colombian Tennis Federation posted on its social networks.
It should be noted that this will be the first match between these two countries in the Davis Cup and Colombia will benefit from the host team winning the tie. The FCT said that the team that emerges victorious from the crossing “will receive one of 12 tickets to the group stage of the Davis Cup Finals, which will be held in September 2023.”
“We have a very competitive squad, and hopefully we’ll be able to carry out the series against a very strong team. We’re going with all the will and need your support and energy, hopefully with a full stadium, to fight hard against the United Kingdom.”Falla, who in his career became No. 48 in the world, concluded.
Santander’s Daniel Galan has sounded the alarm by retiring from the Adelaide Championship. Albumangi, a key player in the “tricolor” squad and undefeated in the Davis Cup when he played in our country, felt some discomfort in the duel against American Mackenzie McDonald and left the match when he was losing 3-6, 0-0.
For this reason, it is important for the world number 67 to recover soon, not only so that he arrives in good physical shape to fight against the British, but also so that he performs well at the Australian Open, his first Grand Slam. the year.

Caballe and Farah, formerly the world number one, didn’t start the season “on the right foot” either and lost their first match of the year. The “Colombian powerhouse”, who reached the quarter-finals of Adelaide without playing, was defeated by the duo of Gonzalo Escobar and Tomislav Brkić. The winners of Wimbledon and the US Open are now preparing for their participation in Adelaide 2.
