Ukraine vs USA Davis Cup Qualification Match Moved to Lithuania Amid Russia-Ukraine War

The Ukrainian tennis players will play the Davis Cup qualification match against the US team as hosts in Lithuania, while the war started by Russia continues on the territory of Ukraine.

Ukrainian tennis players will face the Americans on February 1 and 2, with the matches taking place in Vilnius. Initially, the Ukrainian team was supposed to host the games on their territory, but due to the war, this is not possible.

Team USA captain Bob Bryan announced that Taylor Fritz (ATP No. 12), Sebastian Korda (ATP No. 29), Christopher Eubank (ATP No. 34), doubles leader Austin Krajicek and Rajiv Ram, who is ranked sixth in doubles, will represent the USA in the qualifiers. .

On the other hand, Vitaly Sachko (ATP 169th), Oleksiy Krutich (ATP 298th), Vyacheslav Belinsky (ATP 513th), Vladislav Orlov (ATP 595th) and Ilya Beloborodko will be in the ranks of the Ukrainian units.

The 12 winners of the qualifying pairs will enter the 2024 Davis Cup finals, where last year’s finalists Australia and Italy, as well as Great Britain and Spain, who received special invitations or “wild cards”, have already secured a place.
