The ties will be contested in a best-of-three rubbers format and will be played on one day. There will be two singles followed by a doubles.
2021 Results
Germany are into the semi-finals of the Davis Cup, upsetting Great Britain 2-1 in Innsbruck.
Dan Evans had paved the perfect path to the semi-finals for Great Britain with an emphatic 6-2 6-1 win over Peter Gojowczyk of Germany in the quarter-finals in Innsbruck but Jan-Lennard Struff would down Cameron Norrie before Tim Puetz and Kevin Krawietz beat Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury to seal the comeback win.
Scores
An inspired comeback from Germany saw them gain sweet revenge over Great Britain and reach the last four of the Davis Cup in dramatic fashion.
The British team had knocked the Germans out at the quarter-final stage two years ago and looked to be heading in that direction once again after Dan Evans had strolled through the opening rubber of the day for the loss of just three games.
But Cameron Norrie was then beaten in three sets by Jan-Lennard Struff to set up a deciding doubles match with Britain hoping Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski could get them over the line.
Canada
The Canada men’s national tennis team represents Canada in Davis Cup tennis competition and is governed by Tennis Canada. The team’s best result ever came in 2019, when they reached the final against Spain in Madrid. In its first appearance in 1913 it had reached the World Group final, losing to the United States 0–3.
