Munar could be out of the Davis Cup due to injury.

Uncertain horizon for one of the possible call-ups for the Spanish team heading into the 2026 Davis Cup Finals. We are talking about Jaume Munar, who was set to face an exciting second-round match tomorrow at the ATP Brussels 2026 against Arthur Fils, the man who inflicted one of the toughest defeats of his sports career last year at Roland Garros 2025.

There will be no opportunity for revenge: the Balearic player announced his withdrawal hours before the match due to discomfort in the lower back, a sensitive area that puts his participation in upcoming commitments in doubt. Jaume, who is also set to become a father soon, has been a regular in David Ferrer's line-ups over the last two seasons, participating in the qualifying phase against Denmark and being the leader in the 2025 Finals, while also competing in the qualifying series against Chile that has qualified us again this season.

Could Munar be left out of the Davis Cup squad?

Munar's physical discomfort may cause new options to emerge stronger than ever. Leaked information suggests that David Ferrer already has four confirmed members for Bologna: Carlos Alcaraz, Rafa Jódar, Pedro Martínez, and Marcel Granollers. The search was open for the fifth man, a role that would have suited Munar perfectly due to his versatility.

Now, the situation has changed. The final list will be announced after the Masters 1000 in Paris, and the coach will need to monitor Jaume's physical condition, who is also set to defend his semifinal position in Basel next week. It seems that two candidates are gaining traction, especially Alejandro Davidovich, the Spaniard in the best form after his victory in Shanghai; if Ferru decides to stick with a continuity block, the option for the fifth name would be Dani Mérida, who made a strong debut in Chile against Tabilo. Several weeks remain, but we will see if this little setback disrupts Ferru's plans.
