David Ferrer will not play Spain’s first-round Davis Cup tie against Canada, and Nicolas Almagro also may opt out. Spain, which reached the 2012 final, will face Canada in Vancouver on February 1-3. Rafael Nadal is also doubtful after pulling out of the Australian Open, saying that he aims to return in Acapulco, which begins at the end of February. However, Nadal did add that he may be available for the tournament before then.

“This year I will play in Doha,” Ferrer told Sport 360 at the exhibition in Abu Dhabi. “So Doha, Auckland and Melbourne, because I will not play the first tie of Davis Cup. I can’t play everything and I need to rest after the Australian Open. We have to play best of five sets there and after that I would like to rest.”

Almagro said he was unsure of his availability. “I need to think because I had many problems last year with my shoulder and it was really tough. I had eight infiltrations in my shoulder during the year and I don’t want to play like this again. I want to be ready to fight all the matches, all the weeks. But Davis Cup is special, Davis Cup is another emotions, many great moments and we’ll see.”
