The qualification of the German Davis Cup team for the final round in Malaga is perfect. After two wins in the first two group matches, the men’s tennis team, who had no games to play, qualified thanks to the 6:4, 6:3 victory of the American Mackenzie McDonald against the Slovakian Lukas Klein.

Last group match against the USA

As a result, the German team, which has not lost a point so far, is in second place before the group final match against the USA on Saturday (8:00 a.m. CEST) and thus no longer has a chance of reaching the final round.

Previously, the DTB team, weakened by a strong substitution, led by team manager Michael Kohlmann had won 3-0 against Chile and Slovakia in Zhuhai, China. Singles players Maximilian Marterer and Yannick Hanfmann surprised everyone, and top doubles Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz showed that they had recovered well from the strain of traveling straight after losing the US Open final.

Final round in November in Malaga

At the Davis Cup finals in Malaga, eight nations will play for the title from November 19 to 24. The German line-up is likely to look different there. Team boss Kohlmann hopes to be able to rely on world number two Alexander Zverev and the currently injured Jan-Lennard Struff and Dominik Koepfer.
