MADRID, 5 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish Davis Cup team will face Romania in the qualifying phase to access the 2022 Finals of the tournament, a tie that they will play at home on March 4-5.
Spain, six times champions, could not pass the group stage last week in the 2021 edition, despite being hosts in Madrid as in 2019. Thus, the team led by Sergi Bruguera will have to go through a qualifying round of 12 matches that were drawn this Sunday at the Madrid Arena.
The ‘Armada’ will be a clear favorite, as the host of the tie and the option of choosing the venue and surface, against a Romanian team without big names in the ATP rankings. Marius Copil is the best tennis player in Romania, number 276 in the world.
The director of the 2021 Finals, the Spanish Fernando Verdasco, did not hesitate to give Spain the favorite “clearly”, also playing at home. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) awarded the invitations to Great Britain and Serbia, and Russia and Croatia are assured of their presence next year as finalists for 2021.
