The Hindu  

Three-time Davis Cup winner Germany eased into the semifinals with a 2-0 victory against Canada on Wednesday. Jan-Lennard Struff defeated Denis Shapovalov 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 to avenge Germany’s defeat in the 2022 quarterfinals by eventual victor Canada. Daniel Altmaier beat Gabriel Diallo in straight sets 7-6, 6-4 in the opening singles rubber to send Germany ahead in the quarterfinal clash. Shapovolov committed several double faults, with one resulting in Struff breaking for a 4-3 lead in the third set, moments after the Canadian had smashed his racquet onto the floor in frustration for losing the previous point. In the second set, Altmaier survived two break points in the first game and then broke himself in the 10th and final match to triumph as Diallo crumbled.
