Here is the match to read in the live ticker.
That will be a mammoth task tomorrow, Sunday, in Rijeka. Because the Austrian team of captain Jürgen Melzer has to win all three games in order to still qualify for the intermediate round in September. Because after Dennis Novak had to admit defeat to Borna Coric 3: 6 and 5: 7 after a good performance, Dominic Thiem also left the field as a loser.
The Austrian number one lost to Borna Gojo 3:6 and 6:7 (2). After losing the first set, Thiem got into trouble towards the end of the second, but fended off several breakballs when the score was 5: 5. Gojo got off to a better start in the tie-break, and the sides were changed for the first time at 4:2 for the Croatian. After that, Thiem didn't score anymore.
The first thing to do on Sunday is doubles. There, Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler have to win against Ivan Dodig and Nikola Mektic. A difficult but not impossible task. Then Dominic Thiem meets Borna Coric, the last match on the program would be Dennis Novak against Borna Gojo.
