This weekend, the team led by Nicolás Massú will face the Inca team to advance to the group stage of the competition.
Chile is preparing to face a new installment of the Davis Cup. He will do it this weekend on national territory with Peru as a rival. The two casts will go to the central court of the National Stadium, conditioned with hard surface terrain with only one mission: reach the final of the competition by being part of the group stage .
The national team, led by Nicolás Massú, arrives in its best moments. Nicolás Jarry (18th), Alejandro Tabilo (82nd) and Christian Garin (95th) are in the top 100 of the ATP rankings. They will also have Tomás Barrios, who a few weeks ago was also in the top 100, but who, after his defeat in the Punta del Este Challenger, lost a few places. Likewise, Matías Soto (629th) joins the squad.
Ahead of this duel, Massú indicated that “I think it’s a good problem to have four players with this ranking, it’s great, I feel very happy and it speaks very well of Chilean tennis. The more players there are and the more I have to think and decide who should play, it will be a big challenge for me. It’s the best thing that could happen to me, I have more options, I have more players and I can pose different situations “.
He also commented on his long career as captain of Chile and the projection he hopes for the future. “I took on the challenge because I believed in this project which was so beautiful to me. I always wanted to be Davis Cup captain. I believed we could do it and a lot of people asked me about the change in the streets, when Chino (Ríos), Feña (González) and then I retired. In Barbados in 2014 I made my debut with boys aged 15, 16 and 18…. they have been playing in Davis for 10 years and we have had a team for 4-5 years even more “.
This will be the tenth time that the two countries will meet in the Davis Cup, with a previous record clearly favorable to Chile. So far, head to head, the Nationals are winning 7-2. Furthermore, it is the third time that they find themselves in this situation since the creation of this new tournament format, while for Peru it is their debut.
