Don’t miss… <\/strong> US Open star declares ‘I want to be Roger Federer’s successor’ in pressure move<\/strong><\/p>\n Playing doubles alongside his brother Petros, Tsitsipas lost a three-set battle with Klein and Igor Zelenay. The 25-year-old had barely any time to recover before he was back out on court for a singles clash with Alex Molcan.<\/p>\n Although Tsitsipas put up a decent fight, Molcan sealed a 3-1 victory for Slovakia over Greece by beating his favoured opponent 7-6 4-6 6-3. The result means that Greece will not be able to progress from World Group 1 and compete in the Davis Cup Finals next year.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

More info<\/p>\n Tsitsipas admitted that things were ‘complicated’ after his win over Klein on Saturday, although he went out of his way to praise those in attendance at the historic venue. “I felt the people involved in the match,” he said. “I had several failed attempts to close with a break. The crowd’s energy blew me away.”<\/p>\n Even before the latest dose of Davis Cup action, Tsitsipas had been on an underwhelming run of form, which saw him crash out of the US Open in the second round last month.<\/p>\n On his main draw debut, qualifier Dominic Stricker sent Tsitsipas packing at Flushing Meadows. The Greek was also denied a deep run at Wimbledon earlier this summer, with Christopher Eubanks prevailing in their fourth-round contest.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/4964924.jpg?r=1695027272923\")
