Germany secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Chile in the Davis Cup group stage, remaining unbeaten and virtually guaranteeing their advancement to the Finals in November. Maximilian Marterer and Yannick Hanfmann achieved straight-set wins against Tomas Barrios Vera and Alejandro Tabilo, respectively, before the scheduled doubles match. This follows their earlier 3-0 triumph over Slovakia, and they now lead Group C ahead of the United States, Slovakia, and Chile. Germany is competing without World No. 2 Alexander Zverev, while Chile had suffered a previous loss to the U.S. The Davis Cup group stage features teams competing across four cities, with the top two from each group moving on to the knockout phase in Malaga, Spain. Other matches on Thursday include the Netherlands facing Brazil and last year's runner-up Australia meeting the Czech Republic.
