A great first set (7-6) is not enough for Italy and Lorenzo Musetti : from the second onwards, thanks to an injury to the Italian, it is a monologue from Kecmanovic, who wins the last two (2-6, 1-6) and gives Serbia the lead in the Davis Cup semi-final.
Once again, Italy holds on to Jannik Sinner . The fate of the Azzurri depends on the match between the South Tyrolean and Djokovic , the third match between the two world tennis aces in the space of ten days. In Malaga, in the new head-to-head act, Sinner will attempt the coup to bring Italy to 1-1 and postpone the matter of doubles.
Whoever goes through would face the winner of the other semi-final between Australia and Finland in the final tomorrow.
