Lleyton Hewitt is disappointed a bit not to have Nick Kyrgios this week but isn't ruling out the 2022 Wimbledon finalist's return to the Davis Cup in the future. Between 2013 and 2019, the 29-year-old regularly competed in the Davis Cup.

Nick Kyrgios has been replaced in Australia's Davis Cup squad by Aleksandar Vukic after the former Wimbledon finalist suffered an abdominal strain in the lead-up to the Australian Open.

Belgium will be Australia's next Davis Cup opponents after they won their home qualifying tie in the most extraordinary and controversial fashion.

Lleyton Hewitt has named an altered Australian Davis Cup team ahead of their qualifying tie against Sweden. Despite being named in the initial side, both Nick Kyrgios and Jordan Thompson have withdrawn through injury.

Australia will feature debutant Aleksandar Vukic and Olympic champs John Peers and Matt Ebden in a reshuffled Davis Cup team to face Sweden in Stockholm.
