Georgia started playing Denmark badly in Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group II hosted by new Tbilisi Sports Palace. In singles 19-year-old Danish tennis player Christian Sigsgaard (no ranking) beat 24-year-old Nikoloz Basilashvili (world No.120) 3:1 and advanced his teammates 1:0.

Basilashvili was a favorite in this match. He won the first set but lost the second one 1:6. The Danish tennis player won the third and the fourth sets 6:4-6:4.

Now Giorgi Tsivadze (857) is playing Frederik Nielsen (431).

As Basilashvili lost the first match, the Georgian team will find it hard to beat the Danish players.
