De Minaur rested for Aussies ATP Cup tie

Australia have rested in-form Alex de Minaur for their final ATP Cup group tie against Greece in Brisbane.

De Minaur, who has won both of his matches in the tournament in three sets, will sit out the dead rubber against the Greeks on Tuesday at Pat Rafter Arena.

Captain Lleyton Hewitt made the call with Australia having already secured top spot in Group F and a spot in the quarter-finals in Sydney following their wins over Germany and Canada.

The world No.18 has been replaced by hometown favourite John Millman, who’ll make his second appearance at the tournament after successfully filling in for Nick Kyrgios in Sunday’s tie with the Canadians.

Millman will face Michail Pervolarakis in Tuesday’s opening singles match.

Kyrgios has been given the all-clear to return from a back injury and will face Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second singles match of the tie.
