Sébastien Grosjean decided to field the same team once morest Australia on Thursday followingnoon as the one that beat Switzerland 3-0 on Tuesday in the group stage of the Davis Cup.
Never change a winning team ! Like Tuesday once morest Switzerland, it is Adrian Mannarino, Ugo Humbert, Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin who are lined up by Sébastien Grosjean to face Australia this Thursday for the group stage of the Davis Cup, in Manchester. World No. 34 Adrian Mannarino, who made the third round of the US Open and then beat Dominic Stricker in three sets two days ago, will take the court at 2 p.m. for No. 43 Max Purcell.
He faced the Australian three times in the space of a month and a half last year, with a victory at Wimbledon and Montreal and a defeat in Newport, but the two men have not played each other since. . Purcell remains on an entry elimination at the US Open by his compatriot Christopher O’Connell and played doubles on Wednesday with Matthew Ebden, for a victory over the British pair Evans-Skupski.
A victory would bring the Blues closer to the quarters
Ugo Humbert, world No. 36, will immediately face No. 12 Alex De Minaur. Messin remains on an entry elimination at the US Open and a solid victory once morest Stan Wawrinka on Tuesday. The Australian played in the round of 16 in New York, but lost in three sets once morest Dan Evans on Wednesday. De Minaur leads 3-2 in his confrontations with Humbert, but the Frenchman won the last one, in Atlanta at the end of July.
French veterans Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 80 years old between them, will try at the end of the day to bring the doubles point, once morest the Ebden-Purcell pair, victorious at Wimbledon 2022. After two days, France ( 1 victory – 0 defeat; 3 matches won – 0 matches lost) occupies the top of the standings in Pool B ahead of Great Britain (1 victory – 0 defeat; 2 matches won – 1 match lost). A victory once morest Australia would allow the Blues to take a big step towards the quarter-finals (which would be a first since 2018), while waiting for France – Great Britain on Sunday.
