Croatia’s Dino Prizmic mounted an impressive comeback to defeat Denmark’s August Holmgren 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 to level that tie at 1-1 after day one, while Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff defeated Peru’s Juan Pablo Varillas 6-4, 6-2 to secure a 2-0 lead for his nation heading into Saturday.

“That was an important win that puts us in a good position for tomorrow. The atmosphere was there from the start and really pushed me forward. But it’s only 2–0, and we have to stay focused tomorrow to get the crucial third point,” Struff said after the match.
