The Davis Cup will have a historic chapter for Argentine tennis this weekend. For the first time, Neuquén will host a tie in the competition, with the Ruca Che Stadium as the venue for a key showdown between Argentina and Turkey.

The Argentine team will approach the tie with a clear objective: to earn the points needed to keep its place in World Group I. To do so, the team captained by Javier Frana will have to defeat Turkey in a matchup that will begin this Saturday and run through Sunday.

The draw has already determined the order of play. The action will begin this Saturday at 12, when Francisco Cerúndolo faces Yanki Erel in the opening rubber of the tie.

Next up will be Thiago Tirante, who will take on Mert Alkaya. In this way, Argentina will look to end the first day with an advantage that allows it to approach Sunday’s schedule with greater peace of mind.

The decider will continue on Sunday from 12, with the doubles match. The Argentine pair will be made up of Guido Andreozzi and Andrés Molteni, who will face Arda Azkara and Tuncay Duran.
