Despite adding two resounding victories in the qualifying rounds against Chile and Norway (both 3-0), Spain is playing it today (07:30, #Vamos) against Serbia to be in the semifinals of the ATP Cup 2022. As the criteria show tournament classification, Spain would reach the crosses if it prevails in the tie to the Balkans (by any result) or if it manages to win a single match and Chile defeats Norway (both already eliminated). They classify Serbia 3-0 or 2-1 with the victory of Norway over Chile.
Those in charge of opening fire will be Filip Krajinovic (42nd) and Pablo Carreño (20th), who count their two individual matches by victories so far in the competition. A disputed clash is expected, since both have met twice with a victory for each (Carreño won the last precedent in Hamburg 2021). If Chile prevails previously in the tie against Norway, the Navy would get a direct ticket to the semifinals if the Asturian wins this first match.
If necessary, Dusan Lajovic (33rd) and Roberto Bautista (19th) would play the second match (not before 09:00 hours) with the clear favoritism of the Castellón tennis player. Rober is performing at a sensational level in this ATP Cup, with two resounding victories against two top-20s of the stature of Christian GarÃn (6-0 and 6-3) and Casper Ruud (6-4 and 7-6). As if that were not enough, the Spanish clearly dominates the particular face-to-face with the Serbian (4-0). The Spanish doubles, formed by Pedro MartÃnez and Alejandro Davidovich, also count their matches by victories in this ATP Cup, so if they had to decide the last point, the Spanish team would also be in good hands.
