Overview
- Turkey defeated Germany 2-1 in Ismaning after Anna-Lena Friedsam and Jule Niemeier lost the deciding doubles to Zeynep Sonmez and Ayla Aksu 6-2, 2-6, 4-6.
- Ella Seidel won her national-team debut 6-1, 6-1 over Berfu Cengiz before Eva Lys was beaten by Sonmez 2-6, 6-4, 0-6.
- Germany no longer controls its destiny in the three-team playoff and will be relegated if Turkey beats Belgium on Saturday.
- If Belgium defeats Turkey, Germany must then beat Belgium on Sunday to avoid dropping out of the World Group.
- Late withdrawals of Tatjana Maria and Laura Siegemund deprived the DTB of two top-50 players and reduced doubles options.
