I think Carlos [Alcaraz] will try to play Friday and Sunday for sure. Auger-Aliassime won the only previous match-up between them at last year’s US Open after Alcaraz was forced to retire at 6-3, 3-1 down.

It has been a dream to play the Group Stage in front of a home crowd. 132 in the world rankings, having been a top 30 player in 2020. We had a couple of injuries before the Group Stage and a couple of question marks over how we would team up, but now I am proud that we got over these obstacles. We got to the latter stages of last year's competition and when we started this year, our goal was to get to the Final 8. In the final-set tiebreak, Krawietz and Puetz had trailed 3-1 and then 5-2 before finding a way to win. The result also means Australia is heading to Malaga.
