Another day in Hamburg, another Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals Group Stage clash determined by doubles and once again Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz were the ...

It has been a dream to play the Group Stage in front of a home crowd. 132 in the world rankings, having been a top 30 player in 2020. We had a couple of injuries before the Group Stage and a couple of question marks over how we would team up, but now I am proud that we got over these obstacles. We got to the latter stages of last year's competition and when we started this year, our goal was to get to the Final 8. In the final-set tiebreak, Krawietz and Puetz had trailed 3-1 and then 5-2 before finding a way to win. The result also means Australia is heading to Malaga.

The latest clash in Hamburg sees Germany take on Belgium and there is everything very much to play for in Group C.

We look ahead to the top-of-the-table Group B clash between hosts Spain and Canada at the Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals.

I feel like he wants to make the effort and try to play.” A chance for Spain to go top of Group B and ensure a place in the Final 8. We know we need to step it up and keep that energy going. I think Carlos [Alcaraz] will try to play Friday and Sunday for sure. Auger-Aliassime won the only previous match-up between them at last year’s US Open after Alcaraz was forced to retire at 6-3, 3-1 down. Should Sergi Bruguera deem him fit and ready after his US Open exploits last week, we could be in store for a blockbuster match between Alcaraz and Auger-Aliassime.

“It was a completely different match to the other day. He couldn’t convert a break point in the fourth game and then received a warning for taking too long between points. He signalled his intentions from the outset with a huge ace on the first point of the match. In fact, the only time Pospisil faced break points in the opening set was when trying to close it out. Auger-Aliassime was equal to it, though, and so it continued on serve with both players treating the crowd to an incredible battle. Entering the breaker, the noise level ramped up inside the arena, and particularly when Alcaraz fell 3-1 behind.

Hungary booked their place in the Davis Cup by Rakuten Qualifiers and Casper Ruud made a winning return to help Norway to a 2-0 lead against India.

"He is the world No.1 and big credit to him for that, but today I think I was a little bit better in the third set," the 13th-ranked Auger-Aliassime said. The group tie will be decided in doubles. As the pavilion roared for Alcaraz, Auger-Aliassime coolly responded by surgically placing shot after shot exactly where he wanted. "I didn't come in very good physical condition," he added. Physically and mentally, Felix is one of the best in the world," Alcaraz said. "Felix is a beast.
