The Davis Cup calculator: how Chile gets into the top eight of the tournament

This Friday was a hard blow for the Chilean Davis Cup team. There was excitement after what happened on Monday, when they won 3-0 in the series against Sweden and started the group stage of the tournament with everything. However, Italy showed all its hierarchy against the team led by Nicolás Massú. In three dramatic duels, Christian Garin , Nicolas Jarry and the duo of Alejandro Tabilo with Tomás Barrios fell in front of the Italian representatives. In fact, all commitments were defined in three sets.

“They are the most accustomed to this surface. I have the impression that they already know it by heart. You know what it is. First tournament in a year here indoors, and obviously you have to get used to it. It’s not easy, but we are doing everything we can,” Garin said at the subsequent press conference.

For this reason, the series against Canada this Saturday is decisive for Chile to continue competing for the silver bowl. Note that he still has good chances.

• If Chile wins its series against Canada 3-0
• If Chile beats Canada 2-1, it will advance to the round only if Sweden manages to earn a point against Italy.
• He’s also still alive if the national team falls 2-1 to Canada, but Sweden also beats Italy 2-1.
• Chile qualifies even if it loses 3-0 against Canada, but if Sweden beats Italy in the series by the same score.

• Nicolás Massú and company say goodbye to the competition if they lose 2-1 to Canada and Italy win 3-0 against Sweden.
• And Chile will also be left out if they simply lose their series against Canada and Italy beat Sweden.

The action starts this Saturday at 10:00 Chilean time with full coverage from El Deportivo.
