What are Germany’s chances in the Davis Cup semi-finals?
For the first time in 14 years ! Germany is in the semi-finals of the most important tennis team tournament.
The leap into the top four in the new Davis Cup mode is now also highly creditable because Alexander Zverev is missing. Germany’s best tennis pro had no desire for the new format. He decided against participating and is holidaying in the Maldives instead.
His compatriots can now write German tennis history.
The last time Germany played in the Davis Cup final was in 1993, when the German selection also ended up winning the “ugliest salad bowl in the world”. In total, Germany has won the Davis Cup three times so far, before that in 1988 and 1989.
The road to that point is short, but it is also a crunchy one.
First, Germany has to beat Russia in the semi-finals, and the winner of Croatia – Serbia would be waiting in the final of the Davis Cup Finals 2021.
Prediction for Germany Davis Cup Semi-Final 2021
Germany’s Davis Cup team is a gross underdog against Russia. With Daniil Medvedev and Andrej Rublev, the Sbornaja has two players from the top 10 of the world rankings in its line-up.
The Russians won the two duels against Spain and Ecuador in the group phase, winning five out of six matches. Medvedev and Rublev also won their singles in the quarter-finals and decided the duel before the doubles.

Should Germany be able to win one of the two singles in the Davis Cup semi-final, which Kopefer and Struff have managed to do once each in the tournament so far, the chances of reaching the final with the strong nerves of the doubles team Krawietz/Pütz will certainly increase significantly.
In the Davis Cup betting odds of the Internet betting providers, however, the German team is not given a great chance of winning the title before the semi-final on Saturday.
Germany is only ranked 4th in the odds for the 2021 Davis Cup winner.
The favourite to win the title is Russia. The biggest challengers to the Russian team in the Davis Cup predictions are Serbia and Croatia.
However, this assessment does not necessarily mean much: The Davis Cup sometimes has its own laws because of the team dynamics. The Germans proved this in the quarter-finals when they eliminated the favourites, the British
