1️⃣ The top-ranked player in the team determines the national captain. The only condition: the person must work as a player, trainer or representative in the ATP. So it happens that, for example, the German team will no longer be coached by Boris Becker and Michael Kohlmann this year – because Alexander Zverev has appointed brother Mischa.
2️⃣ The permitted on-court coaching is also extraordinary. You can also look after the player on the pitch during the game and provide them with tips – this applies not only to the intended coach, but to all team members.
