Argentina fell in the playoffs of the team competition against Slovakia.
UNSUCCESSFUL. Paz captain of the team since 2018, generates chances of advancement, but it doesn’t happen.
Before starting the last day of the qualifying round that was held in Bratislava, Slovakia, Mercedes Paz He had so much faith that he assured that Argentina would win the two singles matches that would give them a ticket to the elite of the Billie Jean King Cup (the women’s version of the Davis Cup). The Argentine captain’s prediction did not come to fruition and both Nadia Podoroska as Julia Riera they lost their matches against Renata Jamrichova (6-1 and 6-4) and Viktoria Hruncakova (3-6, 6-4 and 6-4), respectively. With these defeats, the tie that ended tied on the first day was left to the locals who secured a place in the top category in 2024.
“We came with all the hope of being able to make an Argentinian, which was without being favorites to be able to reverse the result,” explained the former tennis player from Tucumán.
“We are tennis players, we don’t like to lose. We were sad, there were tears of sadness, but I am convinced that we are on the right path. We know that we are strong in South America, we know that we are close to promotion and perhaps that is why there are tears; It is not given to us yet,” Paz reflected in an interview broadcast on the Whatsapp of the Argentine Tennis Association. Kazakhstan, Brazil and now Slovakia are the consecutive chances that the “albiceleste” National Team had to return to the World Group after 15 seasons of absence. “Five years ago, it was much more difficult for us to put together a team. Today we have a great team and I am convinced that we will succeed. I told them: ‘let’s not look and we will find it without looking for it.’ That’s where the issue comes from,” the captain concluded.
