The Finnish fairytale is over at the Davis Cup 2023. As predicted, Australia were a little too tough of a team. Davis Cup 2023: The Finnish Fairytale is over But the Finns can take great pride in their performance. I don’t think anyone expected them to reach the semi-finals and they had to win their quarter without their best player Ruusuvuori. Yesterday, Ruusuvuori played, but he wasn’t a hundred percent healthy and it simply wasn’t enough against De Minaur in the second match of the day. The first match was between Finnish Fairytale hero, Otto Virtanen, and Alexei Popyrin. Popyrin …

He has a shoulder injury, but can hit and practice a bit, but not quite enough to play tennis competitions …
At 1-0 in matches and 6-4 5-3 to Lehecka in the second rubber for Czechia. You did not think you would write Australia Fights to Win at the Davis Cup Finals. Australia Fights to Win at the Davis Cup Finals It looked pretty grim for Australia for a long time. Tomas Machac started proceedings in brilliant style, playing great tennis to defeat Jordan Thompson 6-4 7-5. And Jiri Lehecka can play some fantastic tennis, we know that.
