Argentina His journey in the 2023 edition of a Davis Cup begins this Saturday, still shrouded in doubts about his future, after the breaking of the contract between the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Kosmos group, led by Gerard Piqué. The rival will be Finlandan even series and perhaps with a slight favoritism of the Albiceleste if it weren’t for the conditioning of the surface that will be used in the city of Espoo.
The Cordovan tennis player Pedro Cachin27 years old, he will be making his all-around debut in this tournament when he faces Emil Ruusuvuoriracket number 1 of the clubs, in the match that will kick off the qualifying round valid for the 2023 Qualifiers. It will be from 12:00 (Argentina time) and with the television of TyC Sports.
Cachín, born in Bell Ville, Córdoba, and ranked 88th in the ATP world rankings, will play against Ruusuvuori (43) at the Espoo Metro Arena in the city on Finland’s south coast, half an hour from Helsinki. .
The second point of the best-of-five tie will be followed by Argentine number one, Francisco Cerúndolo (31), and local Otto Virtanen (181), as chosen by the captains, Guillermo “Mago” Coria and Jarkko Nieminen.
The series will continue on Sunday from 8 with the double that would pit Andrés Molteni (36) and Máximo González (45) against locals Ruusuvuori (43) and Harri Heliovaara, “top ten” in the specialty since he is number 10 in the world.
Then the last two games will close the series with the number one of each country face to face, i.e. Cerúndolo against Ruusuvuori, and then complete Cachín against Virtanen, even if the draw is defined before the fifth point it could not be played.
If they win, Albiceleste will advance to the group stage of the finals again for the Silver Salad Bowl, alongside 15 other qualifiers (including champion Canada, runners-up Australia, and invited guests Italy and Spain).
But a defeat will be doomed to play in World Group I in September. And this will be a serious blow, not just for sports.
The group stage will be played the week of 11 September, at four venues to be confirmed.
