Czech Republic Pulls Off Upset and Knocks Out United States After Coming Back from 1-2

United States, the country with the most Davis Cup titles (32), will not be in the finals in November in Bologna after letting a 2-1 lead slip away in a crazy day against Czech Republic. After Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram put the Americans just one point away from clinching the tie, having defeated Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik (7-6(8), 5-7, 6-4), everything achieved was thrown away in the singles matches. First, Taylor Fritz couldn't overcome Jiri Lehecka (6-4, 3-6, 6-4) and in the final match Jakub Mensik defeated Frances Tiafoe with scores of 6-1 and 6-4. This way, Czech Republic secures a spot among the top eight while the United States confirms its collapse playing at home.

Reilly Opelka

Opelka 'comes' to his compatriots: he broke a nine-year streak!

Reilly Opelka has managed to surprise Novak Djokovic at the ATP Brisbane 2025, signing an impressive victory that leaves some doubts for the Serbian heading into Australia. The American's performance was spectacular, not only through his tremendous first serves but also his magnificent firmness with his forehand in the baseline exchanges. Thus, he breaks an impressive streak: he is the first American to defeat Djokovic since Sam Querrey at Wimbledon 2016. After nine years and 34 drought games, the one from Belgrade falls again to a player from the land of the stars and stripes.

Davis Cup 2024: A decision by Bob Bryan leaves the United States out

What an incredible tie we witnessed at Martín Carpena between United States and Australia, the two most prestigious countries in Davis Cup history. The series started with a stunning victory by Thanasi Kokkinakis over Ben Shelton (6-1, 4-6, 7-6), then Taylor Fritz leveled it by defeating Alex De Minaur (6-3, 6-4), leading to the decisive doubles match where one decision would change everything.

Bob Bryan, the American captain, chose to sideline the regular doubles pair (Krajicek/Ram) to field Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton. What did Lleyton Hewitt do? He trusted his specialist doubles players: Jordan Thompson and Matthew Ebden. A clear victory for the Australians (6-4, 6-4), propelling them into the semifinals and dealing a harsh blow to the Americans who once again fall short sooner than expected.

The captains of the eight teams already have a clear idea of who will be the members aiming to win the trophy this edition. The United States will face Australia with Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton as their main players, and with Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek as doubles specialists. Consequently, Frances Tiafoe might be left out of the squad, although there could still be some modifications.
