The Finnish men’s tennis team starts their contract in the Davis Cup qualifiers in Austria.

The team’s lineups were released on Thursday in connection with the draw. Number one in Finland Otto Virtanen (ATP-97) opens a national match on Friday when you face up to Austria Lukas Neumayer (ATP-219).

Oskari Paldanius (ATP-1599) was due to debut in men’s national matches, but he is not in the game on Friday.

Eero Vasa (ATP-501) replaces 17-year-old Paldanius in a single game. The second -turn Vasa meets the number one player in Austria Jurij Rodionov (ATP-155).

– Eero was informed of a possible turn of the game last night and has prepared for the match normally. Of course, it is annoying for Oskar, but health always goes to the first place. Eero comes to the field in a good stroke and will surely give everything against Austria, commented in the announcement of the national team captain Jarkko Nieminen.

On Saturday, the Finnish lineup was named to the doubles Patrick Kaukova and Patrik Niklas-Salminen. Virtanen and Vasa have now been named for singles. Captains can still change named configurations on Saturday.
