"It's bitter": Davis Cup captain Kohlmann on shock defeat for Zverev and Germany against Switzerland

Germany were dumped out of Davis Cup Qualifying by Stan Wawrinka and Switzerland after a stunning win for Stan the Man to complete a 3-2 triumph.

Team captain Michael Kohlmann spoke afterwards and was frustrated saying it wasn't expected but at the same time no player could be blamed for defeat with Alexander Zverev returning to the side for the defeat.

"It's bitter. That was a defeat that was not to be expected. Actually, no one in the team can blame themselves," said Kohlmann as per TennisNet.

"The atmosphere was unbelievable, the people stood the whole time. Those are the special moments for a tennis player."
