Denmark were pitted against Croatia when the draw for the qualification of next year’s Davis Cup finals was made in Bologna. <\/p>\n
Denmark<\/a> were unseeded and could therefore draw the world’s strongest tennis nations.<\/p>\n For the same reason, the Danish Davis Cup captain, Frederik Lochte Nielsen<\/a>, believes that the draw “could have been worse”.<\/p>\n “It is a match where I think our players can assert themselves, and we have a chance”, he says in a press release from the Danish Tennis Association.<\/p>\n “I think we have some possibilities. When you are unseeded, all matches are tough, of course. But it could have been worse”, says Frederik L\u00f8chte Nielsen.<\/p>\n Croatia<\/a>‘s highest-ranked player is Marin Cilic<\/a>, who is ranked 75th in the world. Borna Coric is number 115 in the world.<\/p>\n Denmark’s last meeting with Croatia dates back to 1993, when the Danes won 3-2.<\/p>\n The match against the Croatians will be played between 6 and 9 February in Croatia next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Davis Cup match is decided by the best of five matches. Two singles are played on the first day, and a doubles match is followed by two singles on the second day.<\/p>\n If Denmark advances to the second round of qualification, either Germany<\/a> or Peru<\/a> awaits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Denmark were pitted against Croatia when the draw for the qualification of next year’s Davis Cup finals was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-303169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
