German No. 1 tennis player Tommy Haas was not included in the German Davis Cup team because of his poor form, the team captain Patrick Kuhnen said Tuesday.
Instead, Philipp Kohlschreiber and Benjamin Becker will spearhead the German tie with France in their Davis Cup World Group first round clash to be held in Toulon from March 5-7.
The other two members of the German team will be the Simon Greul and Christopher Kas.
The winner of the clash will advance to the quarterfinals.
