Lleyton Hewitt has overlooked Nick Kyrgios and backed Australia’s in-form stars to deliver in next month’s Davis Cup qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The skipper on Tuesday night named Alex de Minaur, John Millman, Jordan Thompson, Alexei Popyrin and doubles specialist John Peers for the February 1-2 tie at Adelaide’s Memorial Drive.
With the Davis Cup overhauled for 2019, Australia will feature in one of 12 qualifying ties hoping to join defending champions Croatia, France, Spain, Great Britain, US and Argentina in the 18-team finals in Spain in November.
