Hewitt backs established Davis Cup quintet for finals

Lleyton Hewitt has kept faith with the team that reached the final of last year's Davis Cup, naming the same quintet for this year's 'final 8' in Spain next month.

World No.13 Alex de Minaur will lead the group supported by Max Purcell (41), Jordan Thompson (58), Thanasi Kokkinakis (68) and world No.6 doubles specialist Matthew Ebden. Purcell, also ranked 41 in doubles, is likely to partner Ebden.

The five have already been in action this campaign, winning through to the Malaga showdown from the group stage despite a defeat to Great Britain in which both singles matches were lost.
