Brazil achieves a historic victory against Sweden to qualify for the group stage of the Davis Cup 2024. It is the third consecutive victory for the team, which is still on a roll after winning in the world group against China and Denmark last year.
“I am happy to help the team”, explains the Brazilian number one. “Everyone has worked hard to make this work. It is the result of the work of the entire team. Everyone has put a lot of energy into this tie and I am proud to be part of the team”says Thiago, who has achieved two points from the series against Elias Ymer and Karl Friberg, being decisive in the match that faces them against Sweden, according to the official Davis Cup website.
In this way, Brazil qualifies for the first time to the final group stage of the Davis Cup, a stage in which they will debut next September: “It gives us great confidence that Rafa and Felipe play doubles for us on this team and win, I just wanted to go out there and do the job. I tried to fight for every point, the key game of the match was 4-3 in the second set, when I turned the match around and broke their next serve”, explains Monteiro about his shock.
Brazil, eager to continue making history
Elias Ymer seemed to complicate the crossing by getting the second point of the series, although Thiago and the duo formed by Meligeni Alves and Rafael Matos advanced in the classification. Jamie Oncins, captain of the Brazilian team, talks about what this result means to Monteiro, his main player in the tie held in the Swedish city of Henslingborg: “I am more than happy that Thiago was able to give us this point to win the series. He knows how much I support him. He is one of the hardest workers and he deserves this moment”.
