ATP Cup: Italy Seal Spot in Semis, Germany Edge Tight Canada Tie

News 18  

Italy sealed a place in the semi-finals of the ATP Cup by winning both singles matches against France on Wednesday, while Germany did their chances of progressing no harm by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead over Canada at the Rod Laver Arena. With the second edition of the national team competition truncated because of Australian Open coronavirus quarantine, victory for Fabio Fognini and Matteo Berrettini in the singles combined with Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Austria ensured Italy would top Group C. Fognini downed Benoit Paire 6-1 7-6 in the opening match of the day on John Cain Arena before Matteo Berrettini outwitted Gael Monfils 6-4 6-2 to make France’s doubles win academic. Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff dominated the first two and finished off Milos Raonic with a thumping ace for a 7-6 7-6 victory that gave Germany a 1-0 lead in their opening tie. After losing 2-1 to Novak Djokovic’s Serbia on Tuesday, Canada needed to win the tie to stay alive in the competition and Denis Shapovalov made a positive start by taking the first set against Alexander Zverev. Russia could join Italy in the semi-finals if they can beat Japan in their Group D clash on later on Wednesday, while Greece play their first Group B tie against an Australia team facing an early exit after Tuesday’s 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Spain.
