Congrats to 2 Aussies who won their finals in last 24hrs

18yr Alana Subasic won the ITF final in Turkey, she has been in decent form over last few months. Will see her continue career high ranking climb as well.

Jacob Bradshaw won the ITF final in Tunisia which was against the form guide for him so hopefully paves the way for future success.

Australia on the brink of catastrophe…

Zizou Bergs has backed up a tremendous performance by his teammate,

Raphael Collignon, to defeat

Jordan Thompson and help Belgium take a commanding 2-0 lead in the second round of Davis Cup qualifying.

Aussies need to win all 3 rubbers on Sunday to book their ticket to Bologna in November.

He wasn’t going to lose twice!

Alex de Minaur defeats world No.46 Zizou Bergs to level the tie at 2-2 against Belgium!

A sudden death match between

Aleksandar Vukic and

Raphael Collignon will decide who qualifies for November’s Davis Cup Finals

 

[tiger_one]

BREAKING: Captain Lleyton Hewitt has made a last-minute change, with Aleksandar Vukic replacing Jordan Thompson to face Raphael Collignon in the sudden death decider.

(Vukic made his Davis Cup debut in February against Sweden, defeating Leo Borg, son of Björn borg, in straight sets.)

 

[tiger_one]

It ends in bitter disappointment for Australia.

A gallant effort from

Aleksandar Vukic wasn’t enough to send the Aussies into November’s Davis Cup Finals.
