“We wanted him back for this match. For us, it’s disappointing he wasn’t available for this particular tie. The top five players are in the team – he’s absolutely in the team [when available],” Hewitt said.

Hewitt and Kyrgios haven’t seen eye to eye at times during the latter’s career, but the Davis Cup captain insisted they are now on good terms.
