Australia and USA Breeze Through Davis Cup Qualifiers; Japan Shocks Britain

Posted : 02 February 2025

In the opening round of the Davis Cup qualifiers, Australia and the United States breezed through their respective ties, while Britain were eliminated by Japan, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2. Australia dominated Sweden, with Alex de Minaur and Aleksandar Vukic securing singles victories, and the doubles team of Matthew Ebden and John Peers clinching the tie with a 6-7(7) 6-3 6-2 win over Filip Bergevi and Andre Goransson. Australia's strong showing saw them advance with ease.

 

Meanwhile, the United States triumphed over Taiwan 4-0, extending their dominant performance in Taipei City. Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram sealed the tie with a 6-4 7-6(4) doubles victory, followed by Mackenzie McDonald’s 6-2 6-3 singles win over Huang Tsung-hao. The US capitalized on their experience and impressive serving to move into the second round, where they will face the Czech Republic, who defeated South Korea.

 

Britain, after taking a 2-1 lead over Japan, were knocked out after Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka and Kei Nishikori won their singles matches. Nishioka leveled the score with a 6-3 7-6(0) win over Jacob Fearnley, while Nishikori secured the decisive point with a 6-2 6-3 victory over Billy Harris, marking the 300th hardcourt win of his career. Nishikori’s win ensured Japan’s victory, and the team now heads into the next round with renewed confidence.

 

Other countries like Austria and Germany also progressed to the second round, with both teams taking commanding 3-0 leads over Finland and Israel, respectively. The Davis Cup qualifiers, which involve 26 teams, are a crucial pathway to the November Finals, with last year’s runners-up, the Netherlands, joining the competition in the second round alongside seven other teams vying for a spot in the Final 8.
