The national duo lost to Sonego and Musetti, leaving the series 0-3 for the nationals. This Saturday against Canada, the qualification is played.
Day to forget in the Davis Cup. The Chilean team could not support the locals in Bologna and ended up losing the series 0-3. Now they will have to risk your life against Canada and wait for the results in Italy against. Sweden to see if the dream of being among the eight best in the world comes true.
The last blow came in doubles, where Alejandro Tabilo and Tomás Barrios could not maintain the advantage and ended up falling to the Italian duo 7-6, 3-6 and 6-7. Like Jarry and Garin in singles, the Chileans started by winning the first set, but ended up losing the match.
This is why the defeat is another bucket of cold water for the team. At the beginning they managed to contain a duo inexperienced in this modality, but composed of two players experienced in the singles circuit. In fact, Sonego and Musetti were not chosen for the doubles at first, but just minutes before the duos took the field, the organizational change was announced.
A factor that benefited the nationals, who have already played several Davis Cup matches in this modality. On Tuesday they beat the Swedes and today was no exception. Excellent level for big differences in the tie-break of the first set and to win 7-3.
The positive feelings even continued, achieving a break in the fourth game of the set. But this surprising momentum marked the end of national domination. From a 3-1 record, they lost five straight matches and surrendered the set.
In the final round, the actions were equal until the end of the partial, where everything was decided in the tie-break. Unlike the first set, here the nationals were unable to achieve victory, abandoning the duel after a 7-2 in the definition. Everything will be defined this weekend. Chile will have to beat Canada and wait for the results in the key between Italy and Sweden.
