Despite not being a huge fan of the current Davis Cup format, Alexander Zverev is going to play for Germany at the 2024 Davis Cup Qualifiers.
Alexander Zverev was on the record about this Davis Cup format not being the true Davis Cup that he grew up watching and loving. Of course, he's not the only one who has said that or something similar and of course, he's right.
