Australia leads Davis Cup tie against Sweden 2-0

Australia's Davis Cup team has taken a commanding 2-0 lead against Sweden in their first-round qualifying tie in Stockholm, thanks to strong performances from Alex de Minaur and Aleksandar Vukic. De Minaur, ranked World No. 8, marked his return post-Australian Open with a straight-sets victory over Mikael Ymer, winning 7-5, 6-1. Vukic, making his debut at age 28, secured a win against Leo Borg, the son of tennis legend Bjorn Borg, with a score of 6-4, 6-4. This strong start positions Lleyton Hewitt's team favorably for the doubles match, where Olympic champions John Peers and Matt Ebden are expected to continue the momentum. De Minaur expressed satisfaction with his win, acknowledging the challenge posed by Ymer, who is returning from an anti-doping ban. The Australian team aims to secure their spot in the second round with the upcoming doubles match.
