Davis Cup Semifinals Set as Germany, Italy, and Australia Advance

Germany defeats Canada, Italy overcomes Argentina, and Australia edges out the U.S., while the Netherlands awaits its semifinal clash with Germany.

Germany secured a 2-0 victory over Canada, with Jan-Lennard Struff and Daniel Altmaier winning their singles matches to reach the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time since 2021.
Italy, led by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, defeated Argentina 2-1 after Sinner won both his singles and doubles matches, setting up a semifinal rematch with Australia from last year’s final.
Australia advanced by defeating the U.S. 2-1, with Thanasi Kokkinakis clinching a dramatic singles win and the doubles team of Matt Ebden and Jordan Thompson sealing the decisive point.
Team USA’s decision to field Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul in doubles instead of Olympic medalists Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek drew criticism after the duo lost in straight sets to Australia.
The Netherlands, who eliminated Rafael Nadal’s Spain earlier in the week, will face Germany in Friday’s semifinal, with both teams missing their top-ranked players.
