Si è concluso il weekend di Coppa Davis. Vi riassumiamo di seguito tutti i risultati del World Group con le 12 nazioni vincenti che si qualificano per le Finals di settembre. A queste 12 nazionali si aggiungono Croazia (finalista 2021) Serbia e Gran Bretagna (assegnatarie di wild card da parte dell’ITF). Bisogna ora capire quale squadra sostituirà la Russia, campione uscente ma estromessa dalla manifestazione per gli eventi bellici di questi giorni.

Probabilmente l’ITF ripescherà per le Finals la nazionale con il ranking più alto tra quelle uscite sconfitte dalle sfide giocate in questo weekend. Se la nuova classifica (che sarà pubblicata domani) non porterà modifiche sostanziali e se sarà questo il principio dirimente la questione è molto probabile che verrà ripescato il Canada (nr. 7 nell’ultimo ranking ITF).
