Third defeat in a row: Swiss Davis Cup team remains winless

The Swiss Davis Cup team remains winless in Manchester and is eliminated with three defeats. At the end against Australia, the Swiss defeat after the individual matches was already clear.

Switzerland has already lost its chances against France (0:3) and Great Britain (1:2). Coach Severin Lüthi’s team did not have to worry about anything against Australia. Leandro Riedi, who had demanded everything from Andy Murray on Friday, and Stan Wawrinka, who secured Switzerland’s only victory at the six-day tournament in Manchester against Cameron Norrie, did not play any more singles matches against the Australians.

Disappointed but hopeful

Dominic Stricker (ATP 90) lost to Thanasi Kokkinakis (ATP 74) 3:6, 5:7 in 100 minutes. The 21-year-old from Bern from Gross Höchstetten led only once: 5:4 in the second set. In the second singles, Marc-Andrea Hüsler (ATP 101) got off to a lightning start against Alex De Minaur (ATP 12) (2:0 and 3:1), but in the end Hüsler also had no chance in 74 minutes (4:6, 3: 6). De Minaur took advantage of the third match point.

“Of course we are disappointed,” captain Severin Lüthi summarized the week in Manchester. «We are always disappointed when we don’t win. But we have seen that the young Swiss are moving in the right direction, even if that was not enough this week.” (SDA)
