In a day full of excitement and close matches, Spain and Germany secured their place in the semifinals of the Davis Cup, demonstrating a high level of tennis and determination on the court.
Spain surpasses Czech Republic
The Spanish team, led by Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez Portero, achieved a crucial victory in doubles to defeat the Czech Republic with a score of 2-1. This triumph marks Spain’s return to the semifinals since their last victory in 2019, where they obtained their sixth Davis Cup title.

In the singles, Jakub Mensik from the Czech Republic showed a great performance, but Jaume Munar secured the decisive point for Spain, demonstrating his confidence and determination on the court.
“I had a lot of confidence in my tennis. It doesn’t matter who is in front of me. I had a lot of confidence in myself and that’s the main thing.”
