Overview
- Captain Javier Frana named Andrés Molteni alongside debutants Thiago Tirante, Marco Trungelliti, Federico Gómez and Guido Andreozzi for the February qualifier in Busan.
- He cited calendar and ranking priorities, saying he did not ask Sebastián Báez to play because the world No. 1 Argentine must defend a large share of his points in February.
- AAT vice president Mariano Zabaleta said there will be no sanctions for those who declined and that players who contest this first tie will share in future prize money in writing.
- Media reports said several Argentine top-100 players were contacted and declined, making this Argentina’s first Davis Cup tie since 1998 without a top-100 singles player.
- The tie is scheduled for Feb. 7–8 at Busan’s Gijang Stadium on indoor hard of intermediate pace, with Frana cautioning that Korea’s Hyeon Chung and Soonwoo Kwon remain dangerous despite low current rankings.
