Austria's tennis team ready to battle Italy in the Davis Cup!

Austria's tennis team is about to enter the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup, which will take place on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. in the SuperTennis Arena in Bologna against hosts Italy. The preparations have already begun on Saturday. Filip Misolic and his teammates are consistently positive about the conditions and the beautiful surroundings in Bologna. Misolic, the only player from Austria in the top 100 ranking, is optimistic and firmly believes in the team's chances of winning. “The conditions are good and we are ready,” said Misolic.

The nature of the tennis court in particular surprises the players, as it is slower than originally expected. This is also viewed positively by Yurij Rodionov. Captain Jürgen Melzer will only announce the individual players an hour before the start of the international match. Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler are set for the doubles.

Team cohesion and anticipation

The team spirit is emphasized as particularly strong. Rodionov describes his teammates as good friends, which makes preparing for the decisive match even easier. On Tuesday evening, the entire team watched the Austrian national soccer team's World Cup qualifying game together, which further strengthened their solidarity.

The Austrian Davis Cup team, led by captain Jürgen Melzer, has had an eventful journey in its history. Since her first participation in 1905, she has played a total of 86 times in the Davis Cup, including 19 times in the World Group. Their best result to date was reaching the semi-finals in 1990. With a current ITF ranking of 24, the team is keen to continue to fight its way up. In the 155 appearances so far, the team has recorded 72 victories, which is a proud record.

The upcoming match against Italy is more than just another game - it could also be a step towards a new success story for the Austrian national tennis team. The players and the captain are determined to do their best and reach the next round.

The final preparations are underway and everyone is looking forward to the start of the match. The mood in the team is confident, and it will be interesting to see whether the dream of advancing in this prestigious competition will come true for the Austrian team.
