Who does the national team meet in the Davis Cup?
The dynamics of Slovakia and the latest data ahead of the fight that Stefanos Tsitsipas and his company will provide at the big meeting in September.
Hearing the national team’s next opponents in the Davis Cup may not be scary, but Slovakia have a strong line-up and are certainly dangerous.
Excitement reigns in Greece after ceremonial qualification for Davis Cup World Group I after 19 years in a packed OAKA in the presence of Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greek tennis player led the country into the top flight and is now invited to take another step alongside his teammates/compatriots.
Next September (16-17/09) we will host the match between Greece and Slovakia for promotion to the World Group I play-offs, where we will maintain our presence in the Davis Cup finals in a unique event.
Slovakia secured their place in the World Group final but were beaten 4-0 by the Netherlands and now have to defend their place in World Group I against Greece.
Slovakia’s top tennis player is left-handed Alex Molkan, who is ranked No. 52 in the world (career-high No. 38) and is certainly also a threat for Tsitsipas, who is set to come off the US Open and a possible long run in New York could be next week affecting his Davis Cup status.
Molkan defeated Stanislas Wawrinka in five sets at this year’s Australian Open before being beaten again in five sets by Felix Ozer Aliasim in the second round to take a 2-0 lead.
In addition to Molkan, the Slovakian team includes the experienced Norbert Gobos, No. 121 in the world (former No. 82), as well as Josef Kovalik (No. 133), Lukas Klein (24 years old, No. 142).
Surely Slovakia’s average placement is much better than Greece’s and we will count on two wins by Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the doubles qualifying for the 2024 play-offs.
A difficult mission, but not impossible, especially with the support of thousands of Greeks in the stands of maybe Kallimarmaros.

38-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (ATP 4) reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Australian Open ahead of schedule.
On January 26, Novak was supposed to play in the fourth round against the representative of the Czech Republic, Jakub Mensik (ATP 17). However, the meeting will not take place – Meshik withdrew from the fight due to an abdominal muscle injury.
“After doing everything we could to continue my performance, I had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that got worse in the last matches. Despite the disappointment, I will remember for a long time my debut in the fourth round of this tournament. I felt great energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was really special,” said Yacoub.
The winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, ATP 5) and Taylor Fritz (USA, ATP 9) will be Novak’s next opponent.
Djokovic will play in the quarter-finals of the major tournament in Melbourne for the 16th time in his career and will compete in the semi-finals for the 13th time.
