The Australian team is the second most successful team in the history of the competition with 28 titles.
With players like Thanasi Kokkinakis, Alex de Minaur, Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell, Australia is one team that will definitely be expecting to make it out of the group stages as one of the top two teams. They will face Belgium in the opening Davis Cup match of Group C. The matches of this group will be played in Hamburg, Germany. The Australian team is the second most successful team in the history of the competition with 28 titles. They are only behind in terms of success to the United States of America and their latest Davis Cup triumph came in 2003. It has been quite a while since the team from down under has tasted success in the World Cup of Tennis but they will be hoping the change that in the near future.
Despite not winning the competition, Belgium has come close to lifting the Davis Cup on more than one occasion. The most recent one came in 2017 when they reached the final but were defeated by a strong French side. Currently, their best player is David Goffin and he will be hoping to take the team at least out of the group stages and into the last eight.
Belgium and Australia are set to face each other in a Group A match on Tuesday, September 13 in the 2022 Davis Cup at 13:30 Indian Standard Time (IST). The group stage of the competition is scheduled to begin on September 13 and conclude on September 18 this year.
