Nej det får man absolut inte.
Jo, från och med i år får man ATP-poäng för spel i DC och, om jag har förstått det hela rätt, även för spel i World Team Cup. Skälet till detta är förstås att öka intresset hos toppspelarna att ställa upp i DC. Tidigare fick man ju inte heller ATP-poäng för spel i OS, vilket medförde att få toppspelare tog OS på allvar och på senare år har ju Davis Cup haft liknande problem.
Man kan förstås fråga sig om en vinst i en död DC-singel ska väga lika tungt som en vinst i en levande match, men hur som helst, här är lite info om detta:

It has been announced that from 2009 ATP ranking points will be awarded to players for their participation in Davis Cup matches. The points can be attained from the four rounds of Davis Cup, and also the play off stage. The accumulated points then count as one result, which can be eligble as one of the players best results from the year. Up to 500 points are on offer, with an additional 125 bonus points for any player who manages to win all eight live singles rubbers as well as lifting the trophy at the end.

What are the ranking rules for players who compete in Davis Cup?
Davis Cup points will be awarded for the first time in 2009 for World Group and World Group playoff ties only. Points allocated are as part of the 500 point category. Davis Cup does not count towards a player's commitment to the 500 category. The points accumulated in the four ties within the previous 52 weeks can become part of a player's 500 category if:
1. Player has not more than three 500 results within the previous 52 weeks and Davis Cup result(s) is better than lowest best other.
2. Player has four 500 results within the previous 52 weeks and Davis Cup result(s) is better than the lowest 500. Also, 500 0-pointers cannot be replaced.
