Australia has indeed held its place. Winner of the competition 28 times and finalist of the last edition, Australia made short work of Finland (2-0), surprise defeat of Canada in the previous round, in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup , Friday, in Malaga (Spain).
Net favorites on paper, the Australians did not fail to prove it. Thanks to the quick singles victories of Alexei Popyrin against Otto Virtanen (7-6 [5]6-2, in 1h32) and Alex de Minaur against Emil Ruusuvuori (6-4, 6-3, in 1h35), they avoided the final doubles set to reach the 49th final in their history.
Lleyton Hewitt’s players will face the winner on Sunday in the final between Novak Djokovic’s Serbia and Jannik Sinner’s Italy.
