Davis Cup, Spain completes comeback: Italy's 7 opponents
With Spain’s comeback win over Denmark (3-2), the picture of the eight teams qualifying for the Davis Cup Finals, scheduled for Nov. 18-23 on the indoor concrete at the Unipol Arena in Bologna,
was completed.
In addition to Italy, already qualified as the host country and defending champion, Germany, France, Argentina, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Austria, as well as the aforementioned Spain, have also detached their passes for Bologna.
Germany, without Alexander Zverev, had an easy time with Japan, crashed with a dry 4-0 victory, while France, led by Corentin Moutet, and Argentina, led by Francisco Cerundolo, defeated Croatia and the Netherlands 3-1, respectively.
Empires by the Czech Republic, which, thanks to singles wins by Jiri Lehecka (2) and Jakub Mensik, eliminated the United States of Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe with a final score of 3-2, and Belgium, which eliminated Alex De Minaur’s Australia with the same result. Surprise victory also came from Austria, which beat Hungary (3-2).
Finally, as mentioned, epic comeback by Spain, deprived of Carlos Alcaraz: the Spanish selection, down 0-2 to Holger Rune’s Denmark, completely reversed the outcome with Pablo Carreno Busta’s decisive victory in the last singles.
