Bologna – Austria’s Davis Cup team did not overcome the high hurdle Italy faced in the quarter-finals in Bologna, but their annual performance gives hope. It doesn’t have to take another 13 years for Jürgen Melzer’s team to reach the top eight nations in the world again. Even if many components such as suitable opponents and surfaces have to work together. Austria will probably be seeded in the draw for 2026 on Sunday in Bologna, and as always a home game would be desirable.
