Denmark removes Djokovic from the road to Spain in the Davis Cup

MADRID 1 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Denmark eliminated a Serbia from the Davis Cup that could not count on his number one Novak Djokovic and therefore will not be in the change of Spain towards the final 8 of Bologna (Italy), also advancing this Saturday Australia, Austria, Germany, Germany, Japan, the United States, Czech Republic and Croatia.

The second round of classification of the World Cup will be in September and there hopes to be a Spain that marches 0-2 above Switzerland after the first day in Biel. In the prelude to Final 8, those of David Ferrer would be measured with a Denmark that culminated his victory (3-2) in Copenhagen with epic.

The Danish team traced a 0-2 on Saturday with the three points at stake: Elmer Moller culminated the local victory with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, on Hamad Medjedovic. Before, each point was equally vital for Denmark, stretching the series until the racing of the fifth thanks to the doubles of Johannes Ingildsen and Holger Rune, and the victory of the Rune himself over Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4, 6-2.

Serbia undoubtedly missed a Djokovic who lost the start of Davis because of the injury he suffered in the Australian Open. Together with Denmark and Argentina, which advanced on Friday, they also exceeded the first round and were summoned in September Germany and Japan, with a 3-0 on Israel in the doubles of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, and a surprising 3-2 against Gran Brittany.

The British team fit a painful comeback after winning the double this Saturday, and will face the ‘playoff’ to save the category of the World Group, by the victories of Yoshihito Nishioka before Jacob Fearnley and the veteran Kei Nishikori about Billy Harris in the series held In Miki (Japan).

On the other hand, the United States gave no option to China Taipei and finished its pass by the fast track in the doubles of Austin Krajicek Rajev Ram, in the same way that did Czech Republic, its rival in the second round, against South Korea.

Likewise, Australia was blunt and resolved the tie against Sweden in Stockholm with the point of Matthew Ebden and John Peers’s doubles. In addition, Austria and Croatia were also quickly against Finland and Slovakia.
