Tennis USA beats Slovakia, eliminates Chile’s Davis Cup chances

The North American cast clearly prevailed in its series and left Nicolás Massú’s team without any mathematical option to move forward.

Chile fails to progress in the Davis Cup. The victory of the United States against Slovakia has buried any chance for Nicolás Massú’s team, which must close its participation in China this Sunday without any mathematical option of qualifying for the final phase to be played in Malaga. The triumphs of the Americans Mackenzie McDonald and Brandon Nakashima over Lukas Klein and Josef Kovalik eliminated the national delegation.

Germany and the Americans reach the Final 8 of the Davis Cup. In this Asian country, the national delegation encountered several problems. Nicolás Jarry did not overcome his vestibular neuritis and was absent for both games. In the meantime, Christian Garin, who was a soloist during his debut in the absence of the Prince, was unable to perform against the Germans due to neck discomfort.

Beyond the mathematical elimination, Massú already recognized this Wednesday that the chances of advancing were minimal, but that this could not diminish the team’s motivation. “We have to be strong, represent Chile and go out to win on Sunday. If we win we can be seeded and that’s important (because they would have a more favorable draw for the 2025 version) “So my idea is to participate with the best possible team,” said the double Olympic medalist.

In this sense, the Vampire did not exclude that Jarry could be present in the last series. “It’s day by day and if he improves, that’s also good, because the person comes first. We have to remember that it started after the final in Rome, so it’s been several months, and this week, being with the team and sharing with many people who express their affection for him will also help him. We’ll see if he’ll be able to play against Slovakia,” he said.
