The German Davis Cup 2022 team tasted a 2-1 success against Belgium in their second group stage match on Friday. Jean-Lennard Struff was in action in the first match against Zizou Bergs and after two sets, the German recorded a 6-4, 7-6 (11-9) victory. Oscar Otte could have sealed the deal for his team in the second match of the day but he came up short against David Goffin. The Belgian’s skill and experience proved to be a bit too much for Otte who lost 6-3, 6-7 (7-9), 3-6. The doubles pair of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Putz rose to the occasion against Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen to take home a 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) win.
Much like Germany, Australia too recorded a fine 2-1 victory over France in their second group stage match on Thursday. Things started off well for the French as Richard Gasquet comfortably beat Jason Kubler 6-2, 6-4. However, Alex di Minaur would soon spoil the party as he beat Benjamin Bonzi 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. The doubles team of Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell was also successful on the day as they beat Nicolas Mahut and Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-4.
Germany and Australia are set to face each other in a Group C match on Sunday, September 18 in the 2022 Davis Cup. The group stage of the competition is scheduled to begin on September 13 and conclude on September 18 this year.
