The tennis player, who had already withdrawn from the duel against Slovenia in March, informed Nicolás Massú that he could not be against Peru due to a left wrist injury.
Chile suffers a last-minute loss to Peru in the Davis Cup. This Sunday, the Chilean Tennis Federation announced the removal of Christian Garin from the payroll who will be present in the series for World Group I of the competition.
“The Chilean Tennis Federation informs that the player Christian Garin will not be part of the Davis Cup team that will face Peru on September 17 and 18 in Lima “, they published on their official channels.
“The tennis player communicated his decision to team captain Nicolás Massú, saying he was recovering from a left wrist injury. “, They continue.
“For this reason, Nicolás Massú has summoned the tennis player Diego Fernández, who will join the team this Sunday in Lima “, closes the news.
This is another defeat for the team led by the double Olympic medalist on the list which was initially made up of Garin, Matías Soto, Nicolás Jarry, Alejandro Tabilo and Gonzalo Lama, a player who was reappointed after four years of absence and that He took the quota that Tomás Barrios occupied in the previous pays.
Diego Fernández was managed as one of the options to integrate the initial list. The Spain-based player had made his tournament debut in the series against Slovenia. Among his most notable records is the U15 final in Quito, where he just fell to Soto .
The fall of Barrios
The first confirmed absence for the clash against the Peruvians, with Chile’s big goal of returning to the Davis Cup Final Qualifiers for the first time since 2019, was that of Tomás Barrios.
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 tell you that after a long period of discomfort, and after consulting my medical team, we have decided that it is better to carry out a small operation on my knee, so I will be off 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.
