Elmer Moller may not have been a well-known player for the general public, but now he is establishing himself as Spain's nightmare. At 22 years old, the Dane has not yet made the definitive leap to the main ATP circuit and has not broken into the top 100. However, his demeanor changes in team competition. In Davis Cup, he defeated Alexander Bublik in 2024 (1-6 6-2 6-2), secured the decisive point against Serbia by coming back against Hamad Medjedovic, to make it to this round, and now achieves a very important point against a in-form player like Jaume Munar, and in hostile territory.

Spain faces a difficult challenge to secure a spot in the final phase of Davis Cup 2025. If they end up losing, it will be a disappointment for the national team, but the absence of the three major figures (Carlos Alcaraz, Alejandro Davidovich, and Marcel Granollers) has taken its toll, as 'La Armada' is up against Denmark. Despite not expected to cause many problems upfront, an inspired Holger Rune and the affinity of Elmer Moller in Davis Cup seem sufficient to defeat the Spaniards. Moller held a press conference following the victory at the CT Puente Romano in Marbella.

- Level up when playing with Denmark

"I really don't know why I play so well in Davis Cup. It might be the atmosphere, which is a lot of fun. Many people come to watch tennis in these ties and it's a bit different from what happens in the regular circuit, here everyone is more involved and playing for a country is very special. I am very grateful for the support I receive from the fans and the Danes who have come here because it means a lot to us. Now we can only focus on tomorrow to finish the job against such a tough team like Spain."

- Reason for the victory

Jaume Munar was in a press conference and mentioned that perhaps he didn't play well against Moller because he hit the ball quite short and gave up a lot of space. The Dane was able to control the match more than the Spaniard, something he was questioned about in the room:

"I played my best tennis when I hit the ball harder, but I tried to give my best and it worked. I probably did leave more spaces at times when it wasn't so convenient for him, but he is a great player and I knew what I was up against. I enjoy playing in these clay court conditions and I am very used to them because I regularly compete in Challenger level tournaments on clay. Tomorrow, in both doubles and singles, we will try to give our best on the court to secure passage to the next phase."
