Argentina eliminated from Davis Cup after 2-1 loss to Germany

Argentina's tennis team was eliminated in the 2025 Davis Cup quarterfinals with a 2-1 loss to Germany in Bologna, Italy. Tomás Etcheverry won his singles match, but Francisco Cerúndolo fell to Alexander Zverev and the doubles pair could not turn the tide. Germany advances to the semifinals against Spain.

The quarterfinal series between Argentina and Germany in the 2025 Davis Cup Final 8 took place in Bologna, Italy, on November 20. Argentina's team, led by captain Javier Frana, started strong with Tomás Etcheverry's win over Jan-Lennard Struff 7-6(3), 7-6(7). Etcheverry played a tight match, deciding both sets in tie-breaks and breaking at key moments despite the German's resistance, with an even clay-court history between them.

In the second singles, Francisco Cerúndolo faced world No. 3 Alexander Zverev, holding a 3-1 head-to-head edge. Zverev prevailed 6-4, 7-6(3), leveraging his solid serve and closing in tie-break after a competitive set where Cerúndolo improved but failed to secure decisive breaks.

With the tie at 1-1, doubles decided the outcome. Horacio Zeballos and Andrés Molteni took the first set 6-4 but lost the second 4-6. The third set went to tie-break, where the Argentines rallied from deficits and held three match points, but Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz sealed 7-6(10-12) after two hours and 40 minutes, with the final ball landing just millimeters inside the court. Germany, which won their last encounter in 2019, advances to the semifinals against Spain, who beat Czech Republic 2-1. Argentina, with a 7-3 historical lead, exits after qualifying via wins over Norway and the Netherlands.
