With one game to go is to not identify the Dutch tennis men for their opponents. The team led by former tennis player Jan Siemerink can now prepare for the match in the playoffs. If tennis players win there, Netherlands return to the world group, the highest group in the Davis Cup.

In the match with Austria, Robin Haase twice before in action. Yesterday Hagenees still lost in four sets to Andreas Haider-Maurer. That same day he revenged himself in the double: along with Jean-Julien Rojer won in three sets by Olivier Marach and Jurgen Melzer. The third victory was won by Thiemo de Bakker, also against Dominic Thiem
