About a year after the 1: 3 victory over Turkey away, just before the corona stopped everything, the Israeli Davis team returns to action when it faces the snowy Kiev team this weekend, in the snowy Kiev, in the framework of the World Cup 1.

They were joined by coach Yoav Ben-Zvi, physiotherapist Tamir Chen, masseur Shachar Fischer, spokesman and head of the delegation.
The games will take place on Fridays (two singles games starting at 15:00 Israel time) and Saturday (doubles game and two singles games starting at 11:30 Israel time). The draw for the games will take place on Thursday.
The meeting will take place on the outskirts of Kiev, in a closed hall on a hard court, where only a month ago a tennis court with three courts was established. An eagle eye system was also installed at the site, which will operate at the meeting. The Ukrainian squad consists of Ilya Marchenko, Sergei Stakhovsky, Vladislav Orlov, Danilo Kalinichenko and Dennis Molchenov. The captain is a former player, Andrei Medvedev, who was ranked fourth in the world at his peak.
