  • Marc-Andrea Hüsler/Leandro Riedi win the doubles in the Davis Cup qualification against Wesley Koolhof/Jean-Julien Rojer 7:6 (7:5), 7:6 (7:2).
  • Riedi then plays on an equal footing with Tallon Griekspoor, but loses 6:7 (6:8), 6:7 (3:7).
  • This brings about the all-important individual between Hüsler and Botic van de Zandschulp (live on SRF Zwei).

The Davis Cup qualification between the Netherlands and Switzerland is turning into a thriller: after four games the score is 2-2. So everything depends on the last single in which Hüsler meets Botic van de Zandschulp.

At the start on Saturday, Marc-Andrea Hüsler and Leandro Riedi scored a coup against the Dutch doubles specialists Wesley Koolhof/Jean-Julien Rojer. The Swiss duo surprisingly won 7:6 (7:5), 7:6 (7:2) in Groningen.

This gave Riedi the chance to close the bag for Switzerland in the individual match. The 22-year-old from Zurich held up very well against the favorite Tallon Griekspoor (ATP 29), but had to admit defeat twice in the short decision.

This is how it continues

The duel between Hüsler and Van de Zandschulp (ATP 63) is about who will move into the final round of the best 16 nations introduced in 2019. Last year the Swiss pulled off a coup against Germany.
