The Davis Cup World Group I matches were drawn, to be played between September 13-14 or 14-15 of the current year, and which will give the winners the possibility of playing in the World Group qualifiers next year. . The draw declared Japan as Colombia’s rivala series which will be played in the country of the rising sun.
The South Americans and the Asians will meet for the third time in the last twelve years in the most important country competition in the world in the men’s branch, in a history that favors the Japanese. The first time they met was in Tokyo in 2013 and two years later they met in Pereira; Both series were resolved 3-2 and in the fifth point, remembering that they were for the World Group Play-offs in a totally different format than today.
Colombia secured its place in this phase after beating Luxembourg 3-2, in what was its second comeback in the entire history of this competition, after losing the first two points; Meanwhile, Japan beat Lebanon 3-1 in a series played in Cairo (Egypt).
It is to be remembered that, Last year Colombia and Japan metbut in the Billie Jean King Cup, the most important national tournament in the women’s branch in the Play-off phase of the World Group qualifiers, that series ended in favor of the orientals by 3-2 and curiously, the last point was the one that defined the series.
