France will travel to Hungary on Friday February 3 and Saturday February 4 in a play-off match. The captain of the French Davis Cup team Sébastien Grosjean declared after the draw: ” The Hungarian number 1, Marton Fucsovics is a very good player. He was 31e global. Although he’s fallen a bit in the standings since then, he has a lot of experience. He is very athletic and has had good results in the Davis Cup. He will be their leader and you will have to be strong to beat him in singles. Their number 2, Zsombor Piros, 23 years old and ranked around 160e world place, is a gifted young player. It will therefore be difficult to face this team away. We would have preferred to play in France in front of our public. Now we’re going to have to get the qualification there».
