Chile defines its composition to face Peru in the Davis Cup with Christian Garin and Gonzalo Lama

The national team will face Peru on September 17-18 for World Group I of the competition.

Chile already have their roster ready to face Peru in the Davis Cup series for World Group I of the competition. This Tuesday, the Chilean Tennis Federation announced the list given by captain Nicolás Massú to face the key.

In them stands out the presence of Christian Garin, who was in doubt due to his physical and mental state, and who has just end his relationship with Spanish coach Pepe Vendrell .

Another novelty is the call for Gonzalo Lama that he is nominated again after four years of absence and that Tomás Barrios, who was forced to enter the operating room due to discomfort in his right knee, will take the place he occupied in the lists previous ones.

Payroll is also included Matias Soto, Nicolas Jarry and Alejandro Tabilo which he wears as his first national racket.

The showdown against Peru will take place on September 17-18 at the Lawn Tennis Club in Peru.

Chile’s main objective in this case will be return to Davis Cup Final Qualifiers for the first time since 2019 .

One of the big absences from this list is the forced withdrawal of Tomás Barrios due to a knee injury.

The chillanejo, together with his medical team, decided to stop the activity to treat a crack in the external meniscus of his left leg.

I’m telling you that after a long period of discomfort, and after consulting my medical team, we decided that the best thing was to do a little surgery on my knee, so I will be away from the courts for a while. . I will keep you informed and thank you for the support, ”Barrios announced via his social networks at the time.

Although the procedure is not completely complex, the recovery period is incompatible with the series. In that sense, it’s a significant loss given that Barrios had started to consolidate a doubles duo with Alejandro Tabilo.

On the Peruvian side, one of the main weapons is Jean Paul Varillas . The local tennis player showed signs of great tennis and took over from Luis Horna, this country’s last star, more than 10 years ago.
