Alexander Erler und Lucas Miedler am Samstag in Tulln

Austria's captain Jürgen Melzer had spread confidence in the singles ahead of the match against Pakistan (and was not disappointed by Jurij Rodionov and Filip Misolic on Friday), but Melzer warned of caution in the doubles. After all, Aisam-ul-hac Qureshi was a man on the entry list who successfully left his mark on the ATP tour. All the more gratifying from an Austrian point of view that Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler left no doubt about the winners in the first game on Saturday. And with a 6:3 and 6:3 against Qureshi and Aqeel Khan they made it 3:0.
