The clocks in Tashkent are a little different, at least compared to Central European times. And so the Americans are allowed to withdraw with a 2-0 lead against the hosts Uzbekistan at a time when other games have not even started. Mackenzie McDonald won his Davis Cup debut against Sergey Fomin 6-4 and 6-1. After that, Australian Open semi-finalist Tommy Paul defeated Khumoun Sultanov 6: 1 and 7: 6 (6) in the second set after being 0: 3 behind.
The first afternoon game on Thursday will be played by the Hungarians and the French in Budapest, where the game will start at 2 p.m.
Of course, the German appearance in Trier against the Swiss was particularly important. Oscar Otte will open there against Marc-Andrea Huesler from 5 p.m. (live in our ticker). The Norwegians have to cope with a small setback: At least for the first day, top man Casper Ruud is missing.
Only tomorrow will the Austrians start against Croatia in Rijeka. The top game between Dominic Thiem and Borna Coric only takes place on Sunday, as in all other encounters, the best players in each team start against the number two of the opponents.
