Thanasi Kokkinakis has rubbished rumours that Nick Kyrgios was "snubbed" by Australian Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt, claiming instead that the 26-year-old ruled himself out of the squad.
Two-time Grand Slam champion Hewitt last week named his team for Australia's upcoming Davis Cup qualifier against Hungary at the beginning of March.
Kokkinakis was rewarded for his victories in the Australian Open doubles and in the Adelaide International singles with a first call-up in more than six years.
