In an exciting Davis Cup encounter, Spain achieved a spectacular comeback to secure their place in the semifinals. The Spanish team, led by Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez Portero, defeated the Czech Republic with a decisive victory in the doubles, marking a 2-1 on the overall scoreboard.
Granollers and Martínez demonstrated their worth on the court, especially considering the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, who was unable to participate due to a hamstring injury. This triumph propels Spain to its first semifinal since they won the title in 2019.
The doubles match, crucial to the final result, saw Granollers and Martínez overcome Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik with scores of 7-6 (8) and 7-6 (8) at the SuperTennis Arena.
In other notable results, Jaume Munar achieved his first individual victory in the Davis Cup, defeating Jiri Lehecka. Meanwhile, Mensik, despite his outstanding performance with 20 aces, could not prevent his team’s defeat.
Germany Also Advances
Germany, for its part, secured its place in the semifinals by defeating Argentina with a score of 2-1. Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz were key in the doubles, overcoming Andrés Molteni and Horacio Zeballos in an exciting tiebreak of the third set.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry put Argentina in the lead, but Alexander Zverev equalized the score for Germany, setting the stage for the decisive doubles victory.
In the other semi-final, Italy, without Jannik Sinner, will face Belgium, seeking their third consecutive title and the fourth overall in this competition.
The Davis Cup Finals, in its sixth edition under the renewed format, continues to offer exciting matches on its way to crowning a new champion.
