[Now Sports] Italy reached the Davis Cup semi-finals without Senna, and Spain did the same without Alcannais.
World No. 1 Alcanañas withdrew from the Spanish team on Tuesday due to a right hamstring injury. The team advanced to the quarterfinals against the Czech Republic, sending out Carrano Besta to face Vincent Munse, but ultimately lost 5-7 and 6-4. Spain needed to win their remaining two matches.
Monnah then faced Lissiga, a quarterfinalist at this year's U.S. Open, winning 6-3 and 6-4 to level the score at 1-1. Finally, the doubles pair of Großkreutz and Martinez narrowly defeated Munse and Machak 7-6 (10-8) and 7-6 (10-8), giving Spain a 2-1 victory.
This is Spain's first time reaching the semifinals since winning the tournament in 2019, and their semifinal opponent on Saturday will be either Argentina or Germany. Italy and Belgium will compete for a place in the final on Friday.
