Confident start of the Ukrainian national team at the Davis Cup

Ukrainian tennis players have successfully held two starting matches of the second round of the first group of the Euro-African Davis Cup area, the most prestigious team competitions among men, against the Austrian national team.

In both fights, Ilya Marchenko and Sergey Stakhovsky in front of his native public (the confrontation takes place in Bucha, that near Kiev) defeated their opponents.

Ilya Marchenko and Dennis Novak came first on the court. Both opponents were worthy of each other and demonstrated an outstanding nature. The Ukrainians managed to go ahead after the victory on the Tai Break, but Novak equalized the score thanks to two breaks in the second set. Incredible heat (and tennis players spent on the court in a total of more than four hours, and when the Sun is most actively from 12 to 16 hours) could not not affect the actions of the players. The best physical readiness demonstrated Ilya, who eventually celebrated the victory.

It is noteworthy that one of the attentive viewers of the match was the head coach of Kiev "Dynamo" Sergey Rebrov. It is not surprising, because Sergey Stanislavovich himself plays well in tennis, and repeatedly opposed or played a pair with professionals, domestic collections, receiving a good characteristic from them.

In the second match, Sergey Stakhovsky did not show Hospitality in relation to their rival Herald Melzer, and, without giving any of his filing throughout the match (Austrian, in the course of the meeting, there were only two break-points, and both were unsuccessful), easily beat the opponent, in general, spending 1: 46 hours.
