Robredo Replaces Ferrer in Spain's Davis Cup Team
MADRID — David Ferrer has pulled out of Spain's Davis Cup team for next week's Group I tie away to Russia after failing to recover sufficiently from an elbow injury and will be replaced by Tommy Robredo.
World number seven Ferrer, who withdrew from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament, initially made himself available to Spain's new captain Conchita Martinez for the July 17-19 match in Vladivostok.
However, he wrote on his Twitter feed on Friday that tests with his physio and Spanish tennis federation (RFET) doctor Angel Ruiz Cotorro had prompted his decision to stand down.
"I don't know when I will be able to return to action," Ferrer wrote. "I will keep you posted."
