After their opening 2-1 win against Brazil, Italy, led by Filippo Volandri, returns to the court at the Unipol Arena to face Belgium. The Belgian team surprisingly defeated the Netherlands on the first day, but the Dutch bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Brazil. Thanks to this result, Italy has the chance to capitalize on its first match point: a win against Belgium would guarantee them a spot in the Davis Cup Final Eight, scheduled for November in Malaga.
The action starts at 3:00 PM, with the first match featuring Matteo Berrettini against Collignon. The Roman player appears to have regained his best form and, after his opening win against Fonseca, aims for another victory against the world No. 194. Next up will be Arnaldi against Bergs, followed by the doubles match, where Bolelli and Vavassori will seek redemption against the Gille/Vliegen duo after their defeat against Brazil on the first day.
In other groups, Germany defeated Chile 3-0, making it two wins out of two in Group C. In Group D, Canada beat Finland 3-0, while Australia secured back-to-back wins with a victory over France, maintaining their lead in Group A. Besides Italy’s match, today’s schedule includes clashes involving Great Britain, the United States, and Spain, featuring Alcaraz, who will face Argentina, Slovakia, and France, respectively.
