Van Herck confident ahead of Australia: “We’re going to win 3-0”

On the other hand, if the scoreboard shows 2-1, you should leave the calculator… The number of matches won is the same for each country (each nation won 2-1 and lost), which is the criterion of set percentage won. In this short game, we realize that Slovakia has already been eliminated. He has won six sets in two matches. But our team has three wins this Wednesday and a win against Australia will make it four more. At 2-1, it was Australia and Belgium to decide. And if the number of sets won by them is the same, the number of games won will count.

National team captain Johan van Herg was as confident as ever: “Tomorrow is another day, with other games and other opponents. As we expected, we finished with a good performance after a frustrating day. But that’s how it is, we have to look forward. We are going to evaluate everyone. Physical parameters and how everyone is to decide who will play on Thursday. See how they feel. These are three games we can win and I think the team has everything to do it.” After all, Elise Mertens is ready to fight despite three flights and six time zones on legs. “It’s been a long journey, but I feel good, I don’t have any injuries. I drank a lot of coffee, that’s for sure (laughs), but it’s the last days of the year, so everything has to be given. We still have opportunities!”Undoubtedly, a singles and doubles century was launched against Ajla Domljanovic (WTA 33) and her gang this Thursday.

If Belgium lose, Australia will have a ticket to the semi-finals.
