Announcement
On September 18, the group round of the Davis Cup ended, which was held in Bologna, Valencia, Hamburg and Glasgow. Based on the results of this stage, all pairs of the ¼ finals of the tournament were determined. The teams from the Netherlands and Germany played the most successfully at the group stage, never losing.
In the upper part of the bracket, the Italians will fight against the US team. Canada will be opposed by Germany. And in the lower half, the Spaniards will fight against the Croats for the passage to the semi-finals, in the Netherlands team will play with the Australians.
The 2022 Davis Cup final will take place in Malaga, Spain from 22 to 27 November. Games will take place on a closed hard.
Favorites
Italians are considered one of the main favorites of the team Cup. Sinner and Berrettini are solid top 15 players, both of whom have already reached top ten positions in the rankings. Yannick on the indura is very good. Following the Apennines, the main contender for the title is the hostess of the decisive stage of the tournament, the Spanish national team. Nadal will not play in the Davis Cup, which reduces the Furies’ chances of overall success. Alcaraz alone may not pull out the team, especially since the covering is not a favorite for the Spaniards. And Bautista-Agut and Carreno-Busta are clearly not doing well on fast and closed courts.
Middle peasants
Teams from Canada, Croatia and the United States are considered average teams. The “maple”, with a solid and young composition, have a chance to break far “on courage”. Do not forget that the two leaders Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime are in the top 20. Felix performs well on hard indoors and can bring some important points to the Canadians. Croats will bring to the competition a fairly experienced squad. All their hope is for the veteran Marin Cilic and Borna Coric, who has played well since the summer. The Americans have a good team, the guys who are successful this season are playing: Fritz and Tjafu. So the Yankees are quite capable of shooting, although the coverage is not comfortable.
Underdogs
The Australians will not be able to count on Nick Kyrgios, which clearly reduces their chances of clinging not only to reach the final, but also to win in the quarterfinals. De Minor on the Indura is quite good, but nothing more. But his teammate Kokkinakis is a very rare guest on the indura, who does not even have five victories in his career. The Netherlands have little chance of even reaching the semi-finals. Van de Zandschulp has a wealth of indoor experience but lacks consistency in his game. Grikspor is failing the season on hard courts, and van Reithoven is outside the top 100 and is now playing at the challenger level. Germany has the most experienced squad. There is still no Alexander Zverev, counting on players outside the top 50, Otte and Struff, who have seriously passed in recent years.
Our forecast
It is very likely that the teams of Spain and Italy will play in the final meeting. For the hosts, the lot turned out to be quite successful. The representatives of North America and the Apennines were not caught. Most likely, the Spaniards will be able to beat the Balkans. If this can be done, then the semi-final will be even easier. The path of the Italian team will be much more difficult. Against the Americans, you will have to work hard in order to gain the upper hand, perhaps everything will be decided in a double duel. Canadians in the quarterfinals, apparently, will beat the Germans. If this can be done confidently, then Frank Dantsevich’s team will come fresh to the game of the ½ final. In the decisive match of the tournament, the Italians or Canadians can play against the Spaniards. The hosts of the tournament will have strong public support and are unlikely to be tired after the semi-finals, so they are able to win the Davis Cup 2022 competition.
