The last hurdle before the final tournament in Bologna has been reached: the German Davis Cup team will meet Croatia in the second qualifying round in September. The selection of seven-time double Grand Slam winner Ivan Dodig beat Denmark 3-1 in front of their home crowd on Saturday.
The most prominent Croatian, the former US Open winner Marin Cilic, was missing. In the absence of the 61st in the world rankings, Dino Prizmic (121), Matej Dodig (235) and the double Nikola Mektic/Mate Pavic led Croatia into the second round.
Germany once again enjoys home advantage against the 2018 Davis Cup winners after beating Peru 4-0. However, it is still unclear where the game will take place.
