Day 3 - 15 March
Former Grand Slam champion Stefan Olsson returned to the court once again in the final set of round-robin Group stage ties in the men’s event, in an enthralling encounter between Sweden and Belgium.
Olsson won his singles, before fellow Grand Slam champion Joachim Gerard comfortably levelled the tie at 1-1, leaving the semi-final spot to be determined by the deciding doubles.
Belgium quickly went to a 6-1 lead, before Olsson and Hampus Linder-Ologsson found their rhythm to win the second set 7-6. Momentum remained with Sweden, who then took the match tie-break 10-0, securing their place against Italy in the semi-finals. Austria and Germany will battle out the other semi-final on Saturday's penultimate day of play in Latvia.
Switzerland and Turkiye raced to victories in the women’s event over Austria and Latvia, respectively, to top their pools.
The contest of the day, however, was the quad tie between Turkiye and Germany. Two three set matches in the singles meant it was all to play for in the doubles and it was finally the No. 3 seed Germany who defeated No. 2 seed Turkiye in the deciding doubles, thanks to the combined efforts of twins Marcus and Maximillian Laudan. That leaves Turkiye to face Great Britain and Germany to play France in the quad semi-finals.
