Austria men's national team on the verge of victory over Türkiye at the Bad Waltersdorf Sports Park.
Yuri Rodionov delivered his opening singles success on Friday – and now Lukas Neumayer has followed it up on Saturday. Generali Austria lead the Davis Cup 2-0 in their Group A match against Turkey in Bad Waltersdorf and are now on the verge of qualifying for the 2025 Davis Cup Finals, Neumayer Salzburg (ATP 262). … Part of the Austria men's national team for the first time, he made his international debut in the match against the former world number 144, which was abandoned at 5:5 in the first set on Friday evening. Cem Elkl (ATP 474) won 7:6 (3), 6:2 after a solid performance. Captain Alexander Peya's men can secure the red-white-red coup in the subsequent doubles match. Alexander Erler (ATP doubles 46) and Lukas Midler (ATP doubles 58) will compete for that against Altug Celikbilek (ATP doubles 2296) and Janke Erl (ATP doubles 433). But we have to wait for that for now: Right after Neumayer used the match point, it started raining again in Styria. Only when it stops will the games resume.
