This meant that the Germans, who lost 2–1 to Great Britain in the first round, had a chance for promotion to Group C. Despite the defeat, the United States finished first due to a best match ratio of 4–2, with Great Britain having a better direct comparison to runners-up Germany in the group. Canada are currently in last place due to the worst match ratio, but they still have every chance of reaching the semi-finals. Great Britain will face the USA on the last day of the match, while Germany will face Canada.
In Group B, France had to admit defeat after a 3–0 loss against Italy. “Equipe Tricolor” is the last with two defeats and no chances of it going forward. Italy, on the other hand, can still dream of reaching the semi-finals with a balanced record of wins and losses before the decisive duel against Russia.
Matteo Berrettini defeated Ugo Humbert 6: 4, 7: 6 (6), Yannick Sinner defeated Arthur Rinderknecht 6: 3, 7: 6 (3).
