Nick Kyrgios out of Australia's Davis Cup clash with Britain

"We have agreed on a plan to help him develop all aspects of his game and ensure a long and successful future in the sport,”

Nick Kyrgios has been replaced by Bernard Tomic in Australia’s Davis Cup team to face Great Britain in next week’s semi-final in Glasgow.

Tennis Australia confirmed its line-up on Tuesday – Lleyton Hewitt, Sam Groth, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Tomic – with captain Wally Masur explaining that Kyrgios’ absence was by mutual agreement in order for the volatile 20-year-old to focus on his personal and professional development.
