It’s been a great end of a hard-fought week for the Australian Davis Cup Team during the 2023 Davis Cup Finals Group Stages over at AO Arena in Manchester, UK, having fired off poorly with back-to-back singles losses against Great Britain earlier on Wednesday where they only collected the doubles tie win. However, they fought back the next day v France thanks to Alex De Minaur’s win v Ugo Humbert and another doubles effort (2-1) before we round off 2nd in Group B last night behind Great Britain on the standings following a 3-0 whitewash win last night v Switzerland. Now they’re through to knockout stages later in November at the Martin Carpena Arena in Malaga, Spain, where it’s their turn this time in the hope of not just going through the next three Davis Cup Finals ties (Quarter Final, Semi-Final & Final), but also walk away with the trophy they so badly needed for the first time in 20 years that goes way back to 2003 after falling just short in 2nd place to Canada last year.
We will have to wait and see who their next opponent is gonna be to try and get through the opening Quarter-Final group once the next draw comes out at a later date, but gotta love their Doubles effort pairing of Matt Ebden & Max Purcell that made this team being successful all along. Now we just need some support for Alex De Minaur when it comes to the singles matches, which is something Australia needs to work on in order to have another successful Davis Cup campaign in 2023.
And don’t forget there’s always the Billie Jean Cup also during early November where the Aussie women’s tennis team is looking to reply from their runner-up Final defeat against Switzerland nearly a year ago. We know they can both do this to wrap up the 2023 with maybe two World Cup of Tennis trophies for both our men and women’s teams as go get em!!
