Milos Raonic has yet to fully recover from the hip injury which forced him to quit his Wimbledon second round match on June 22, with the national No. 1 now set to miss next week's Canadian Davis Cup zonal tie in Ecuador.
Raonic slipped on slick Wimbledon grass and fell on his hip against Gilles Muller. Though initial reports on his condition were optimistic, with the player travelling to his Barcelona base for treatment, healing has not been swift.
Canadian coaches had been playing up the story that their big man would play in hope of intimidating the opposition. But the mind games were over once Raonic's true state was inevitably revealed by team selection.
"With Milos out, Bester, Nestor, Polansky and Pospisil will represent our country," said coach Marty Laurendeau. "Just like any other tie in South America that we've played, we know this will be a challenge but the guys are all ready to do their best to help us win."
Raonic is still under doctor's orders on his hip problem, which he hopes will allow him to begin the North American hardcourt swing in just days. "No decisions have been made with regard to Milos' treatment," said a tennis official.
Raonic is due to begin his pre-US Open run in a fortnight at the Atlanta ATP tournament.
