If Captain Stefan Koubek’s team won against Australia in 2019, they would once again be among the 16 best tennis nations in the world. Australia would lose their five-year membership in the leading group and relegate. Overall, the two nations have already faced each other three times. Australia won twice, Austria once.
The captain of the Austrian Davis Cup team Stefan Koubek warns against the Australians despite Nick Kyrgios’ retirement: “Millman and de Minaur don’t have to hide either, both are top 50 players. That’s another reason why he doesn’t see any major advantages for either team. “50:50, but with a home advantage for us”, Koubek assesses the chances and adds: “Almost 6000 fans will push us every day and support us in this tight box. Austria is a clay court nation, that’s a big advantage.”
