Davis Cup: Argentina lost the doubles, now seek to seal tie v Turkey | OneFootball

Argentina failed to take advantage of its first chance to clinch the series against Turkey in Davis Cup World Group I. After singles wins by Francisco Cerúndolo and Thiago Tirante, the national team lost the doubles match and will now have to look for the decisive point in the remaining singles matches.

The series is being played at the Ruca Che stadium in Neuquén, and Argentina had taken a 2-0 lead thanks to victories by Cerúndolo and Tirante. The former beat Yanki Erel 6-0, 6-4, while Tirante defeated Mert Alkaya 6-2, 6-4.

With those results, the team captained by Javier Frana was just one point away from securing qualification for the 2027 Davis Cup Qualifiers. However, Turkey pulled one back in the doubles and kept the series open.

Now Argentina will have to decide the tie in the remaining singles matches. If it earns one of those points, it will win the series and advance to next year’s Qualifiers.

The Argentine team is also looking to bounce back from the defeat suffered against South Korea in the previous series, which it lost 3-2. This time, at home and with the early advantage, it still has the chance to achieve its goal in its own hands.
