An absolute disaster that the Argentine team has suffered in South Korea, finding themselves forced to fight for survival after succumbing 3-2, with Hyeon Chung as the local hero.
Javier Frana
One of the main handicaps of the Guillermo Coria era in the Argentine Davis Cup captaincy was his disagreements with Horacio Zeballos, world number one in doubles. The player from Mar del Plata was absent from both the Olympic Games and the Davis Cup, but it seems that is about to change. 'Zebolla' praised the appointment of Javier Frana as the new coach and made it clear that he is "available to return to the team" in a conversation with Página 12, recalling past ties and showing his willingness to wear the Argentine jersey again. A new era begins.

After the end of Guillermo Coria's cycle, the AAT quickly made a move to contact Javier Frana and offer him the position of Argentine captain of the Davis Cup, a fact that was widely accepted by fans. Just a few minutes ago was the public presentation, where we could hear his first words focused on a new mission.
"It is a great honor to be in this place, I understand that it is a great responsibility, so in the next few days I will meet with Guille Coria because I need to draw from all experiences and announce a vice-captain. For me, all players start from scratch, in my mind, everyone is eligible, no matter what happened before. I know it's a challenge, but I want the guys to find the desire to be here and to belong to the Argentine team," Frana valued.

Javier Frana will be the new captain of the Copa Davis team for Argentina. The former world number 30 takes over this position from his compatriot Guillermo Coria. Frana's first challenge will be the qualifying phase match against Norway, to be held between late January and early February. We will see if these changes in the coaching staff also reflect in the team selections and performance on the court.
