MADRID, Nov 22 ― Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut has withdrawn from the Davis Cup Finals after the death of his father yesterday.

Bautista Agut played in Spain's victories over Russia and Croatia but left the team and returned to Castellon after the health of his father Joaquin deteriorated.

Bautista Agut, who reached this year's Wimbledon semi-finals, lost his mother suddenly in 2018.
