- The Davis Cup brought a rematch of the much-discussed Cincinnati duel
- Britain’s Draper took on Auger-Aliassime
- Some fans see this as a display of karma, as the previous duel had a very unusual ending
The Masters in Cincinnati will probably remain the event most remembered by spectators this year, which happened in the eighth round. The British Draper used his match point in a controversial way and advanced.
But he might have preferred to turn back the clock himself and made a different decision in a critical situation. After his strike in the match against Auger-Aliassime, he received a good deal of criticism.
And the shadow of the match in the USA once again fell many thousands of miles to the east on the 22-year-old. At home in the prestigious Davis Cup against Canada.
The young Briton took the court against the representative of the Maple Leafs with the score 1: 0 in favour of the Canadians. And that was none other than Auger-Aliassime.
Draper and the much-watched rematch
The first set of the rematch was very even. The Canadian was the only one to get break points, but he didn’t take advantage of them. The game was decided by a shortened game, in which Draper managed to scramble out of a 3:6 disadvantage, but fell in the end. His reaction shows how much he wanted to succeed in front of the home crowd.
The second set was also a thrilling spectacle and the Canadian was also happy in it. With this duel, the overseas team confirmed its advancement to the quarter-final stage of the traditional team competition.
The other quarter-finalists are Italy, USA, Argentina, Germany and the Netherlands. From the “Czech” group, Spain and Australia are among the top eight.
For many fans, however, it was the match between Draper and Auger-Aliassime that was the highlight. And the defeat of the Briton is, according to some, a clear proof of how karma works.
Let’s wish the promising British tennis player to put the Cincinnati affair behind him once and for all. After all, only he knows how he perceived the situation.
